Brazil Travel Guide: Bourbon Festival in Paraty
For those who can’t make it to the Bayou Boogaloo on Bourbon Street in New Orleans this weekend, Paraty is hosting another music festival that can really boogie.
The Bourbon Festival Paraty, to be held May 28 to 30, is only two years running, but it’s picking up speed. The rollicking, rioting line-up of jazz, blues, soul, and R&B musicians is sure to get your feet stomping.
Hosted by the Bourbon Street Music Club in Sáo Paulo, open-air, all-night long free concerts will be held at the Praça da Matriz in Paraty’s Historic Center.
The main event will be jazz guitar virtuoso John Pizzarelli. This famous guitarist, singer, and composer has recorded albums dedicated to Brazilian and bossa nova music.
Paraty, on the southern coast of Brazil has been a favorite haunt for jazz and blues legends, including Ray Charles, B.B. King, and Nina Simone. The cobblestone street colonial beach town is also worth a full Paraty tour, as there are terrific beaches and islands surrounding this Brazilian gem.
