'At Carioca da Gema you don't watch samba, you live it.' Founded in 2000 in a historic Lapa mansion of wooden beams and period detail, this pioneer of the neighborhood's revival hosts live samba nightly on the Palco Luiz Carlos da Vila, a stage that has held Dona Ivone Lara, Beth Carvalho and Zeca Pagodinho.
