Zicartola was the emblematic restaurant created in the mid-1960s by the sambista Cartola and his wife Zica, in rua do Carioca, downtown Rio de Janeiro. It was a privileged meeting place, where sambistas from the old and the new guard drank, talked, and played together. From Nara Leão to Zé Kéti, from Paulinho da Viola to Nelson Cavaquinho, everybody went there. And it was also a space of political resistance, in the middle of the Brazilian military dictatorship. This is the story told in this beautiful book.
