Humberto Gessinger on tour

In an interview with Carlos Redel for GZHHumberto Gessinger revealed that he intends to continue this tour throughout the year — and present two new songs, to be released soon. One of them, “Paraíbah”is a partnership with Chico Cesar and will be recorded during the artist’s trip to Sweden, with the intention of visiting his daughter, Clara — which even participates in the MTV Acoustic 2004. The other is called “Without Jokes or Text”. Both will be on a new album, which should also be released in 2025.

“We will continue, at least, the whole year on the road with this show, playing these songs (from the 2004 and 2007 albums) in acoustic format. But until they’re released, I won’t play the two new songs. I like that, for the first impression of the new song, the guy is in his habitat, on the car radio or in his room or with headphones. I think the show is a bit of a different thing. People no longer have a lot of time and attention. So, I have to stop myself from outrunning the ball.”
