For the Thursday-to-Sunday stretch of October 15–18, one of the week’s clearest small-scale routes sits inside Guzzo in El Born. The room describes itself as a restaurant with live music every day and DJ sets after concerts, and its forthcoming programme turns that house rhythm into a concise weekend shape: guitar-and-voice bossa nova at the dinner table on Friday, a selector session once the late lights come down, then a Sunday soul and funk gathering. It is an angle built around pacing. These are concerts and DJ sessions designed for the same room at three points in the weekend, with food, drinks and the social tempo of the venue folded into the plan.[1][2][3][4]

Friday, October 16 begins at 20:00 with [BOSSA NOVA & JAZZ] Dinner con Guitarra & Voz at Guzzo. The venue lists Ramiro Pinheiro, Hugo Arán, Alan Da Silva and Ana Rossi for two 40-minute performances, at 20:00 and 22:00, built around guitar, voice, bossa nova and jazz. That compact format suits an early-evening booking: music arrives in defined sets, leaving space for conversation and dinner without treating the concert as background decoration. Bossa nova’s own history is entwined with intimate vocal delivery, Brazilian rhythmic language and jazz influence, so the title’s pairing has a real musical logic behind it. Friday and Saturday reservations at Guzzo are for dinner, making an advance table plan especially sensible.[1][2][5]

At 23:00 on the same Friday, Groove Corner takes over the later slot. Guzzo presents the session as an after-dinner DJ set by Fred Guzzo and Le Marquis, with a selection moving through jazz, soul, Latin, Afro, world and eastern sounds. The listed range is broad, yet its thread is legible: rhythm-focused records that connect Black American music, tropical forms and dance-floor material. Fred Guzzo’s route on the page runs from jazz and boogaloo through drum and bass, funk, house, reggae and African rhythms; Le Marquis is identified with a long Barcelona DJ history and the pair’s previous Influência do Jazz party. For anyone choosing between the early concert and the late session, the distinction is useful: one offers named performers in two short live sets, the other an open-ended selector conversation after 23:00.[3]

Friday’s handover: songs to selections

The handover from the 20:00 bossa nova programme to Groove Corner at 23:00 is the point of the Friday double bill. Guzzo’s schedule explicitly frames the DJ session as the continuation after two live passes, giving the evening a built-in break between close listening and movement. Start with guitar and voice, stay through the second performance if the table booking allows, then let the later set reset the room’s energy. There is no need to force an artificial genre boundary here: bossa nova emerged from Brazilian musical traditions while drawing on American jazz, and Groove Corner places jazz alongside soul, Latin and Afro selections. The connection is historical as well as practical, even as the delivery changes from performed songs to DJ sequencing.[2][3][5]

A Sunday landing with Gianni Scianname

Sunday, October 18 brings the route back to Guzzo at 20:00 for [SOUL/FUNK] FUNKY SUNDAY featuring Gianni Scianname. The official listing identifies it as live music, carries a €5 artistic cover charge, and says a DJ set follows the performance. That makes it a clean landing for the final night of the October 15–18 window: an earlier start than Friday’s DJ slot, a named live guest, then a continuation for anyone who wants to extend the evening. Its stated food-and-drink setting also keeps the focus on the room’s particular scale—an El Born restaurant whose calendar treats dinner, concert and DJ set as parts of one flow.[1][4]

Practical route: book Guzzo for the Friday 20:00 dinner concert if guitar-and-voice bossa nova is the priority; arrive for 23:00 if Groove Corner’s cross-genre DJ selections are the draw; return Sunday at 20:00 for Gianni Scianname and the soul/funk session. Check the official Guzzo event pages again before leaving, especially for reservation conditions, cover charges, artist details and any schedule changes.[1][2][3][4]
