In its heyday, Rio de Janeiro’s legendary Canecão concert venue was home to countless MPB musical memories.

Canecão’s musical debut came on June 22, 1967, when legendary singer Bibi Ferreira strode onto the stage. Since that opening night, the venue played host to a ‘Who’s Who’ of Brazilian performers and international tours, including Gal Costa, Djavan, and Roberto Carlos.

Canecão was the scene of countless premieres. Marisa Monte launched the release of her Rose and Charcoal album from under its spotlights. “Everyone who’s anyone,” as Frommers Brazil noted.

But Canecão succumbed to economic pressure and its shuttered doors are now a canvas for graffiti by rebellious college students.
