Project hits the platforms this Thursday and will have shows in São Paulo and Rio in May
The singer Beth Carvalho will be honored in the new edition of Sambabookproject that brings together artists to rewrite repertoires of big names in samba. The album hits audio and video platforms this Thursday (4), and will be accompanied by a book and two release shows: May 8 at Vibra SP (São Paulo) and May 15 at Vivo Rio (Rio de Janeiro).
The posthumous tribute was idealized still in life by the artist herself, who died in 2019. Beth chose the journalist and researcher Rodrigo Faour To write your dyscobiography, a format that follows all editions of the sambabook. This will be the first time the project focuses on an interpreter, not a composer.
“There is an understanding that there are artists so owned by their repertoire that it is as if the songs were theirs,” he explained Afonso CarvalhoBeth businessman and artistic director of the project.
The artist’s daughter, Luana Carvalhointerprets WanderBeth’s first success released in 1968. In the new version, she divides the vocals with the GOLDEN BOYSwho participated in the original recording.
“I thought it would be fun to call them. I sang with my 7-year-old daughter watching the audience,” said Luana.
The album brings together 24 tracks, with names like Zeca Pagodinho(Rain falls),Pillars (1,800 hills), Maria Rita and Seu Jorge (It’s still time to be happy), Leci Brandão, Teresa Cristina, Rust, LUEDJI LUNA, Fagner, Agnes Nunes and others. All artists interpret together “FATHER COISIN “, Success immortalized by Beth.
The singer’s discography is recognized for having revealed names like Zeca Pagodinho, Arlindo Cruz, Almir Guineto and Jorge Aragon. For Rodrigo Faour, Beth’s trajectory shows “coherence to all proof” (via the globe).
“She recorded only what she wanted, without industry concessions. She conceived the albums as children.”
Sambabook Beth Carvalho will also be released in physical format with CD, DVD and Biographical Book.
