Hello,
Take a look at this music video with exclusive images of Rio de Janeiro. I bet after this video you will decide to book your holidays in Rio de Janeiro. Have you ever heard about "Little Joy"? It's a brazilian/american band formed in 2007 by Rodrigo Amarante (Los Hermano's singer - just a quick note: Los Hermanos is a brazilian indie rock iconic band), The Strokes drummer Frabrizio Moretti (also a "carioca") and Biki Shapiro - the charming lady also vocalist of the band.
Little Joy's music is very relaxed and one could say it's a mix of 60's indie brazilian Tropicalia style, as New Musical Express (NME) Magazine described the band, and contemporary indie rock, with a "summer"latin american flair. Recently, the brazilian drummer Fabrizio Moretti (still active with The Strokes) was replaced by ex The Moldy Peaches guitarist Jack Dishel. The video below is "Next Time Around", a good example of the indie-rock-tropicalia style. It was filmed in Rio de Janeiro, with locations in Urca, one of the most expansive and considered exclusive neighborhoods of the city, with the Sugar Loaf (another famous touristic landmark) and its cable car. If you visit Rio de Janeiro, a walk in Urca and "Praia Vermelha" (small beach in the same area called 'Red Beach') is unmissable. Then you have to take the Cable Car to reach the top of the Sugar Loaf mountain and enjoy the marvellous view of Rio de Janeiro - from the best point for a complete sightseeing of the city.
