The growing presence of cachaça on the table, in cults, and in the culture of the people of Rio de Janeiro

Scheduled for the 26th, in Lapa, there will be a conversation between historian Luiz Antônio Simas and producer Haroldo Carneiro, who runs the brands Cachaça Sete Engenhos and Quissamã, to discuss the presence of cachaça in Brazilian culture, from its prohibition during the colonial era to becoming a national heritage and symbol of cultural identity. The event, featuring samba and cocktails prepared by Igor Renovato, will address the influence of the drink on samba, on Afro-Brazilian religious practices—where, according to Simas, "the saint also drinks"—and on the corner bars of Rio de Janeiro, from the outskirts to the South Zone.
