It is the first tour presented by Leo and, according to him, celebrates the artist’s musical journey and a return to his roots. “It’s always been part of my history. I started singing for pagodes, for this specific genre, which elsewhere we call ‘samba’. […] For me, this project is a dream come true that I have wanted to realize for a long time, but, as I always say, ‘It’s all in God’s timing,’” says Leo.
The show will be divided into three parts. In the first, the singer will bring to the stage all the experience that fans already know. The second will be a mixture in the pagoda rhythms of the main successes of Bahian music. According to Leo, the idea is to celebrate one’s roots. And finally, in the third and final act, the PAGGodin it ends like any other pagoda: in a samba circle.
Leo says the song selection was ‘handmade’ by him and he puts together a bit of everything. “The biggest challenge was the repertoire, since these are songs already recorded by different voices. I put it in the imprint of PaGGodin, which was very good, it was mixture of things from Bahia, which is our biggest differentiator. It will be a special moment,” she explains.
“It will not just be a show featuring incredible artists, but rather the show Paggodin with incredible experiences to be had there, from samba moments in the crowd. I really don’t know how it will be among the people, I just know that it will work (laughs)”, underlines the singer.
In total there will be 12 squares/cities in which the event will take place: Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Fortaleza, Manaus, Curitiba, Brasilia, Maceió, Aracajú and Belém. Sales must begin in Juneat a national level.
Participations and new songs
As for participation, Leo says that the artists who were invited to the first editions of the project will be expected for the tour, but it is still necessary to confirm with everyone. “I’m already inviting some. At the end of last year we were already thinking about the tour and, of course, I had already invited some artists. Some are yet to be confirmed, most have a very busy schedule, but some are making an effort to try to work around it, even if it means attending with us and then going straight to their show, appointment,” he says.
“I invited Periclon (Pericles)I invited myself Xande de Pilares, Thiaguinho… All those who participated in this project, RustTHE LudI invited Luisa Sonza also because I want to bring some types of artists who until now make a different type of sound and another novelty is that, in each edition, I will record a new song with these guests. To extract another clip from this event,” Leo points out.
Donations to Rio Grande do Sul
According to the artist, the project was born with the aim of contributing to the victims of the Rio Grande do Sul floods. Part of the proceeds from sales will be donated.
