The artist will perform a season of performances called ‘Baritone’, a way to take the low regions of the voice as his favorite place
Lulu Santos he wasn’t the last romantic when he said it in 1983 – wow, 40 years old – but maybe it’s the unique case of a pop romantic positioned in a very specific place in Brazilian music. His 70th birthday, which he says is just an ephemeral used to justify the tour starting in June, could also be an opportunity to talk about it a little more. An 80s rocker? Even though he’s appeared there, he’s already said he’s not. An MPB author? While passing through there too, he is not like that, not in the “sacred” sense of the term. And perhaps there is an important point in the essence of the artist who, at the same time, desecrates MPB without distorting its richness and relaxes rock without frustrating its relevance.
There are singers and singers who are artists and singers and singers who are just singers and singers. And this does not always prevent a career from being fulfilled. But witnessing this process and identifying where the turning point is, even if this feeling has not been named, is the great appeal of the program. It’s not the screeching, the amount of melismas, the use of other vocal resources, nor the performance of a candidate.

Married to Clebson, 38 years his junior, the artist renews his audience with new recordings that he receives on many fronts. One of the most recent has come from DJs and producers Scarlatelli, BARC and Reeis. They used Saturday eveningfrom the album Calendar, from 1999, to create a remix. The release of the work says: “They deliver a funkier take, while preserving the vocals. It’s light, nostalgic, timeless and delightfully danceable.”
