More than five hundred persons are expected at this special night, not only Savoy and Royal Savoy guests but also local people. The party will be animated by the samba groups of Caneca Furada and Fura Samba that are going to make their first public appearance in this eve of Carnival Parade. Beyond these, the privative Hotel Trio to which the voice of Vânia Fernandes will join, are also part of the entertainment program. The chosen menu will make reference to the more emblematic bands and musicians that performed in Savoy Hotel since the forties. This will also be the Savoy’s fair homage to all of them and a way to make our repeating and long years loyal customers revive something that they still bring in memory, the Nights of Savoy. |
