Hasta pronto Tumbao !!

Santa Teresa is a very cosmopolitan distric, where many foreigners and visitors melt with locals daily. But there is only one place where you can breath the real South American atmosphere, taste its regional specialities and listen to the most enchanting music : Tumbao de Malevo!



Its name - Tumbao de Malevo - has an interesting story being "tumbao" the drum used in the caribbean and "malevo" an argentinian slang for "smartass" and somehow contains all the continent south, from Panama to Ushuaia, in two words.



Santiago and Iuri, the owners, have been so good in putting together art, music, cinema, clown performances, classes, food, drinks and good vibes of what resulted to be a concentrated of South American culture.



Coffees and Cachacas are fabulous here, as well as all the meals that comes out of the wooden oven. At week-ends specials breakfast and brunches are served and weight in the typical-atypical brazilian per-kilo system. While some live acustic music is massaging your ears and soul.



The wide open terrace with panoramic view over the main streets of Santa Teresa, the peaceful garden decorated with antiques and natural elements,together with the nice people who works here make this place very special.



Castelinho38 was there on its last sunday, together with the special "model of 90" you have seen in the pictures. Tumbao de Malevo is closing now for some refurbishing and we are all looking forward to its opening soon, hasta siempre queridos amigos....
