Jewel singing during "Hot Wings (I Wanna Party)"
The Samba Club is Nico and Pedro's music club, which is made out of crates and covered with a tarp, and hidden nearby a Fruit Stand at the Ipanema neighborhood of Rio.
Nico and Pedro take Blu, Jewel, and Rafael there after they miss meeting Luiz. Nico and Pedro introduce the new arrivals, then sing the song "Hot Wings (I Wanna Party)." During the course of the song, Blu discovers his inner rhythm radiating from within his heart. Winning Jewel over with his moves, the two dance together, culminating in Jewel being launched into the air by Blu and singing, enchanting Blu. Just as Blu and Jewel were about to kiss, the tarp was pulled off by Mauro and his marmoset minions. After a brief standoff, a battle ensues, with Blu and friends managing to escape, Blu with the help of Kipo and Nico. Afterwards, Nigel asks Mauro what happened, sifts through the wreckage, and catching a green bird, named Tiny, and interrogates her to tell him where Blu and Jewel went.
