You have just arrived at Lapa! Welcome to the most democratic spot in Rio de Janeiro! This publication will present to you a specific approach in regards to the center of Rio de Janeiro, using Lapa, a historical and bohemian neighborhood of the city with a fantastic and diverse culture, as the starting point. The neighborhood has extended itself, focusing on its surroundings. Tiradentes, Cinelandia, e Gamboa are more than a reference when the subject deals with leisure. Lapa, which is majestically symbolized by its arches, is our cover story. The Carioca Aqueduct (original name The Arches), post card and meeting point for all the tribes, is reborn. The streets are closed to traffic on the weekends, and everybody approved of the town hall's initiative. Security has been reinforced. Who introduces the Profile column is the sambista Diogo Nogeira, who at one time dreamt of becoming a soccer player and like other great talents began in Lapa. Close by, at Cinelandia, imposing, with mare than a 100 years of history to tell, the Municipal Theater received as a present a complete structural recuperation , made possible by the film maker Carla Camurati, president of the house. The graffiti artist Acme was another personage to leave his mark here, as one of the artists who participated in the formation of the Praya Cardeal Camara panel that added even more charm to Lapa.

A RUA E NOSSA! The Street is ours! que ja era bom ficou ainda melhor. Agora , as ruas da Lapa ficam fechadas ao trMego de veiculos e sao tomadas pelo publico. A ocupa~ao das cal~adas por bares e restaurantes, que ja foi motivo de briga entre os comerciantes e a prefeitura, agora e permitida, desde que 0 estabelecimento deixe no minimo um metro de passagem para os pedestres. A interdi~ao, que come~ou em julho, vale para sextas e sabados, das 22h as 5h, e faz parte do projeto Lapa Legal , da prefeitura do Rio. Para 0 prefeito, Eduardo Paes, a iniciativa consolida a democracia do lugar. "A Lapa mais do que 0 reduto da boemia, mais do que uma importante area hist6rica do Rio Antigo. Eo na verdade, a sintese da alma carioca. A interdi~ao das principais ruas da Lapa ao trans ito nas noites de sextas e sabados, ampliou essa voca~ao festiva do bairro, que se consolida como urn dos mais democraticos pontcs de encontro de nossa cidade", afirmou 0 prefeito. o subprefeito do Centro Hist6rico do Rio, Thiago Barcellos, disse que 0 objetivo criar uma area onde 0

What was already good has gotten even better. Now the streets in Lapa have been closed to vehicular traffic and taken over by the people. The occupation of sidewalks by bars and restaurants which initially caused a fight between merchants and the city government is now

permitted as long as the establishment allows a minimum of one meter for pedestrians. The decree, which was passed in July, is valid for Friday and Saturday nights between 10 pm and 5 am and is part of the Mayor's Office's "Legal Lapa" program. For Mayor Eduardo Paes, the initiative consolidates democracy in the neighborhood. "Lapa is more than a place of bohemia. more than an important historical area in old Rio. It is really a synthesis of the Carioca soul. The closing off of the main streets in Lapa during Friday and Saturday nights increases the festive nature of the neighborhood which has consolidated itself as one of the most democratic meeting points in our City," he says. The Deputy Mayor for Rio's historic center, Thiago Barcellos, says that the objective is to create an area

Ali, na Lapa e no entorno, com 0 refor,o do policiamento, conseguimos reduzir as ocorrencias quase a metade," afirmou 0 comandante . Para atender a nova demanda, a prefeitura aumentou 0 numero de banheiros quimicos e 0 efetivo da guarda municipal nas ruas da Lapa. Foram ainda criadas mais de 600 novas vagas de estacionamento noturno para receber 0 crescente publico. o ir e vir de gente bonita pelas vias acontece na Avenida Mem de Sa, no trecho entre as avenidas Gomes Freire e Republica do Paraguai ; na Rua Riachuelo, entre a Rua do Lavradio e a Mem de Sa; e na Rua dos Arcos, entre a via de liga,ao que passa sob os Arcos da Lapa , em dire,ao as ruas Evaristo da Veiga e do Lavradio.

where the public can enjoy themselves with better security, where they can enjoy the historic attractions while generating a climate that stimulates investment by new entrepreneurs in the neighborhood. Lieutenant-Colonel Xavier, commander of the Military Police battalion responsible for the area says that during weekends at least 15 squad cars patrol the area and that incidents are becoming less frequent. "Petty theft, which used to be common in the downtown areas, has seen a significant decline," he says. "in Lapa and the surrounding area we have cut crime nearly in half. due to increased patrolling." In order to meet the new demand, the Mayor has increased the number of portable toilets and activated the municipal guard on the streets of Lapa . 600 new parking spaces were created to receive the growing public. The coming and going of beautiful people happens on Avenida Mem de Sa between Gomes Freire and Republica do Paraguai Avenues; on Rua Riachuelo between Rua do Lavradio and Avenida Mem de Sa, and on the Rua dos Arcos. on the stretch that passes under the Arches of Lapa in the direction of Evaristo da Veiga and Lavradio streets.

He is a synonym of Rio, has gotten an MTV award and has dreamed of shining as a successful soccer player. However, as it runs in the blood , the samba singer and composer Diogo Nogueira, son of the late Joao Nogueira, shines on stage with his unique voice, swing and smile. The successful singer also writes samba songs for Portela, his best-loved samba school. Launching their third DVD , Diogo, among other great talents, has also started his career in Lapa. "Lapa is one of the most important symbols in Rio, the cradle of the samba which also welcomes all different styles and that is really great. The revitalizing of Lapa is essential; the place encourages new talents (many start their careers there) and it is also a tourist attraction which is profitable to the city", highlighted Diogo, referring to Beco do Rato where young composers get together to play samba. Questioned if he has double responsibility for being Joao Nogueira's son , Diogo emphasizes that working hard is important and how proud he is of his father: "Being the son of such wonderful person is a privilege and a good reason to be proud . The responsibility is sometimes high, but I try not to worry about that; I do my job with dedication and honesty and little by little I earn my own space."

The artist has won the 2010 Brazilian Pop Music Award from MTV and some questioned if he was a samba or a pop music singer. In his opinion, '1he samba is Brazilian Popular Music and that is it!" In his spare time, he enjoys the company of his family; even though playing soccer with friends and going to the beach are also good options for the singer who has defined a perfect day as "being with my family or singing for my audience". The blue and white-colored school from Madureira (the neighborhood in Rio where Portela is) has paraded four times dancing with his songs and he concludes: "It is wonderful to help and to be part of the history of my beloved samba school Portela."

On the 27 of May, 20 10, there could be seen a different green and gold facade at the Municipal Theater at Cinelandia. Who knew about it before didn't remember. Those who saw for the first time were impressed. It was a R$75 million investment, whose main sponsors were BNDES, Eletrobnls, Petrobras and TV Globo; with lots of work going into the project

Lapa - Democracy â&#x20AC;˘ lives here!

efinida pelo produtor cultural Perfeito Fortuna como uma "Babel ao contn!lrio" , a Lapa e 0 bairro mais boemio e mais democr<itico do Rio. Tem atra ~6es para diferentes gostos, ritmos e pre~os. Nao importa a lingua , a origem ou a roupa que se ve ste. Sempre ha um cantinho com que se identificar, pois a democracia vive na Lapa. E notorio que foi 0 samba quem reinaugurou essa nova fase do lugar. Mas tem funk, hip-hop, forro , afro, jazz, rock, pop , reagge , etc. Tudo junto, tudo num so lugar. E clinica geral. As tribos sao diferentes , mas todos se entendem e dividem , sem problemas, os espa~os . A Lapa e referencia. Vir ao Rio e nao conhecer a Lapa e abrir mao de uma experiencia cultural unica . A noite , 0 mesclado de rostos, tons, estilos e sons encanta .

Defined by the cultural producer Perfeito Fortuna as an "inverse Babel", Lapa is the most bohemian and democratic neighborhood in Rio. There are attractions for all sorts of tastes rhythms and prices. Regardless of the language spoken, of where one comes from or what clothes one wears, there is always the right spot to identify with , after all democracy lives in Lapa. It is widely known that the samba has reestablished this new phase. However, there is also funk, hip-hop, forro (Northeastern Brazilian dance), afro music, jazz, pop, reggae, and so on. All in the same place. Different tribes share the same space with no conflicts whatsoever. Lapa is a reference pOint. Visiting Rio and not going to Lapa is leaving off a unique cultural experience behind . At night, the mixing of faces, tones, styles and sounds fascinates everyone.

Mas nao foi sempre assim. A Lapa do Rio antigo, esquecida , passou por maus peda~os . A boemia deu lugar a becos e ruas frequentados tao so mente por amaveis saudosistas. Andar na Lapa it noite era uma aventura para poucos corajosos. Na decada de 50, a Lapa era um dos principais pontos de referencia da vida noturna da cidade. 0 local, com seus cabares e restaurantes, era considerado a "Montmartre Carioca", frequentada pela fina flor dos artistas , intelectuais , politicos e diplomatas. Para voltar a brilhar, foi preciso uma revolu~ao , com atitude do poder publico e investimentos dos proprietarios de estabelecimentos do local. Neste movimento chegaram os artistas , novos e bons artistas, e com eles um publico cada vez mais exigente . Era hora de mudar. E isso se deu gra~as it combina~ao de boa musica e bons cariocas.

However, it has not always been this way. Lapa in old Rio had been forgotten and gone through hard times. The bohemian life gave way to dead-end alleys and streets attended only by pleasant nostalgic regulars. Walking around Lapa at night was a dangerous adventure taken only by a few. In the 1950's, Lapa was one of the major references in the nightlife of Rio. The place with its cabarets and restaurants was considered as the "Montmartre Carioca" (from Rio), visited by the finest artists, intellectuals, politicians and diplomats. And it becomes resplendent again . A revolution was made necessary along with government power and investments made by the owners of local businesses. At that moment, new, talented artists were attracted and, therefore, a more and more demanding public followed. It was time to change, and it has become a reality thanks to the combination of good music and supporting locals.

Vir ao Rio e nao conhecer a Lapa, e abrir mao de uma melhor compreensao do que e ser carioca e de uma experiencia cultural (mica no Rio de Janeiro.

If you go to Rio without visiting Lapa you will miss a chance to truly

understand what it means to be a Carioca as well as a unique cultural experience in Rio de Janeiro.

:::J

Hoje tem gente de tad a canto, do Brasil e do mundo, que Iota as noites da Lapa , a area mais democratica do Centro do Rio, onde a diversidade cultural e social e 0 ponto alto. A lei proibiu 0 cigarro em locais fechados , mas alguns bares se estendem pelas cal<;adas e os fumantes agradecem. Veio a Lei Seca, mas h8 taxistas de sobra pelas ruas e todos agradecem. Tambem ha as hospedarias, se nao da pra ir pra casa, lugar pra passar a noite e 0 que nao falta. Ese voce encontrou seu par, ai fica perfeito.

Today, people from all over Brazil and from around the world pack inlo Lapa, the most democratic area in downtown Rio where the cultural and the social diversity has become the highlight. Smoking has been prohibited in closed areas, but some bars get extended outside onlo the sidewalks and the smokers are grateful about Ihat. Because of the new law on alcohol prohibition (against drinking and driving), there are plenty of cabs available and again everyone is graleful. There are also inns in case you do not want to go home, a wide range of places to spend the night, and better yet if you have met your perfect match.

Mas onde come<;a a Lapa? Uns dizem que e na Pra<;a Tiradentes, outros na Rua do Lavradio. Ou seria na Mem de Sa? A Rua Riachu elo e historica ... Isso nao importa. 0 fato e que hoje, lugar para ver e ser visto e na Lapa .

But where does Lapa start? Some say it starts in Pra<;a Tiradentes, others say on Rua do Lavradio. Or will it be on Mem de Sa? Rua Riachuelo is historicaL .. However, it does not matter; most importantly Lapa is the place to see and to be seen today.

As sextas-feiras todo metro

On his 10 card his name is Carlos Esquivel Gomes da Silva. In the world of art, his tag name is Acme. Today he is one of the biggest names in Brazilian Graffiti. Acme , 32 , is a resident of the Pavao-Pavaozinho shantytown in Rio 's South Zone and is one of the artists who signed a mural that added charm to the Cardeal Camera Square in Lapa. A corridor of light and a new landscape, with roses made from Portuguese stone completes the new look. This present to the community was made by the Antarctica brewery, which adopted the square, located in the heart of Carioca bohemia, proving that good beer and samba make a perfect pair. The creator of the famous political work on Nossa Senhora de Copacapana Avenue said he enjoyed participating in this project and praises the diversity of the neighborhood . "For me, Lapa has always been a place to meet, mix with people from different backgrounds. I appreciate the exchanges that take place here, the mixture of languages and the demystification of the tower of Babel!" says the artist. Acme started in graffiti art in 1996 after starting off as a simple tagger. "I improved my style to continue doing what I like best: urban interventions and provoking reactions in people," he says. Acme painted the pool player, the last person on the left of the mural. "We worked like ants," he says, "each one of us has his main character but has contributed to the mural as a whole. " 15 graffiti artists worked on the 300 sq. meter piece near the arches. The mural is full of bohemian and countercultural symbols of Lapa.
