Lonely Planet review for Maracatu Brasil
Maracatu Brasil is one of the best places in Rio to study percussion. It’s very active in music events throughout the city. Instructors here offer courses in a number of different drumming styles: zabumba, pandeiro and symphonic percussion, as well as guitar and other instruments. If you plan to stick around a while, you can arrange private lessons (R$250 for four one-hour classes) or sign up for group classes (from R$100 a month). On the 1st floor of the lime-green building, Maracatu sells instruments.
