The presentation ‘Pra Semper Samba’ saw the participation of Alcione, Maria Rita, Diogo Nogueira, Jorge Aragão and Xande de Pilares
On Brazil Day Rock in Rio This Saturday, the 21st, what you saw at Cidade do Rock was the audience dressed in black – it even seemed like some rock band like Metallica, for example, would be performing there. Unlike the days dedicated to Rock, trap and pop, it was difficult to figure out what the people there wanted.
He called Xande de Pilares My faith AND The Cosme Potatosamba inspired by Afro-Brazilian religions, were better, but even so the timid chorus did not cover the chatter of the audience and the electronic sound coming from a sponsors’ stand.
Jorge Aragão, one of the members of the Cacique de Ramos band, where Zeca sought inspiration at the beginning of his career, shared the microphone with his student in I’m not anymore.
Maria Rita came in to sing Shameless couple AND Up there. The end, with everyone on stage, was with Heart in disarray and Let life take me.
Before the show, Zeca, Aragão, Alcione, Maria Rita, Diogo Nogueira and Xande reaffirmed in a conversation with the press the undeniable importance of samba in Brazilian popular music.
A show undoubtedly based on the roots of samba, but quite far from what the heterogeneous audience that went to Rock in Rio this Saturday perhaps wanted to see.
