Concert in Copacabana

We presented an intimate and beautiful show in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, about Chico Buarque and Maria Bethânia. Here are some videos:

Cobras e Lagartos

This is a very cool song from Hermínio Bello de Carvalho and Sueli Costa.

Sinal Fechado / Sem Fantasia

This song is from Paulinho da Viola. Sem Fantasia is a song from Chico Buarque.

Flor da Idade

This is a song from Chico Buarque.

We presented the concert in two days. Almost 600 people watched to this, total. No big propaganda, no great advertisements. Pretty good results!

Playing With João Pinheiro – Show “Entre Nós”

We took part in João Pinheiro’s show this Saturday – an intimate and beautiful show called Entre Nós (Between Us). He is already featured in Candeeiro edition – that guy who recorded Sade’s songs with brazilian rythms. Two tracks from his album are featured as part of the soundtrack of “Caras e Bocas” soap opera in Globo TV, the biggest TV channel in Brazil.

Watch some of the videos here. I took part in many of them, mostly playing pandeiro:

Juízo Final, from the composer Nelson Cavaquinho, with the guest Manu Santos:

Os Presentes / Todo Mundo Sabe, with the special guest Eliana Printes. She’s the composer of this cheerful samba, together with her husband, the guitar player Adonay Pereira.

No Ordinary Love, from Sade.

Palavra, an interesting piece of song played with a typewritter as a percussion instrument. The song is followed by Olha a Baiana and Filó, in which I also took part. The three songs are João’s compositions.

The guitar player is André Agra, owner of Saladesom records, one of the local and most succeeded labels in Rio de Janeiro, who is also producing the first of Manu Santos albums, to be released by the end of the year.

Special thanks to our friends Marcos and Aninha, who recorded everything with an amazing video quality, and with whom we shared delicious slices of pizza right after this show.
