João Rebouças

It explores the last two years of Brazilian singer Cazuza's life, from his AIDS diagnosis until his death. Nilo Romero, Cazuza's music producer and the film's director, created a collection of rarely seen and controversial images.

Five years after his last tour, Chico Buarque returns with a show to launch his newest CD, Chico, which has already sold over 80,000 copies. Despite having one of the most solid and prolific careers in Brazilian Popular Music (MPB) — releasing more than 40 albums over 45 years, including solo works and projects — the composer rarely appears on Brazilian stages. This will be only the sixth show he has performed in the last 36 years. Lasting approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, the setlist is built entirely around the ten songs from the new album. In addition to these, the artist sifted through his vast catalog of over 400 songs—diverse in both genres and themes—to finalize a list of 30 tracks. The project, titled Na Carreira, is a celebration of this great artist’s return to the stage, revisiting classics such as Todo Sentimento, Bastidores, Baioque, O Meu Amor/Teresinha, Anos Dourados, among others.

“Carioca,” Chico Buarque’s first DVD of original songs since As Cidades (1998), features musical direction and arrangements by Luiz Cláudio Ramos and production by Vinícius França. The repertoire includes the choro-canção Subúrbio and Sempre, a track composed for the film O Maior Amor do Mundo, among others. In this work, the artist speaks about his city with the youthful spirit reminiscent of the age when he first earned his famous nickname.
