“I am reaching 80 years of age. The general form of the show is also due to the pleasure of the almost post-pandemic return to the stage and the attention to my history in this art so loved and well cultivated by Brazilians, although my reservations about my talent, for him, have not dissipated” he claimed Caetano Veloso, with his usual humor and sensitivity.
Together with his virtuoso band, Caetano Veloso will arrive in Argentina in June to present at the Movistar Arena his last job as part of the tour “My Coco”, in a show that also goes through the most important moments of his musical career. The date will be June 9 and tickets can be purchased from Monday March 20. Also, the iconic Brazilian artist will be performing at the Teatro The Circle of the city of Rosario 11th June.
The emblematic artist is one of the greatest exponents of Brazilian and Latin American music. His first album “Sunday”he composed it together with the singer and partner Gal Costa, passed away last year. His extensive and prolific career has taken him around the world as an ambassador of South American culture, leaving an indelible mark on entire generations of artists.
Since he composed his first song at the age of 9, until these days when, at the age of 80, the musician, a reference Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa of the new Brazilian wave, continues to take the stage to dazzle with his unique voice. Caetano Veloso has published more than 50 albums and was recognized with two awards grammy and ten Latin Grammysand innumerable international distinctions and awards.
His artistic legacy, for the public and critics, is invaluable, from his intellectual strength and his active stance on issues that have crossed Brazilian society. In October 2021, he released his latest LP “Meu coco”, which gives his name to the extensive tour that he is doing. With several years in between, the pandemic that hit the world and a deep creative process, this material dazzles in its beauty and compositional variety.
“I think of the sequence of songs like who is in front of a moviola. I have the soul of a filmmaker, although I do not have the physical vocation of such. Thus, the distribution of new and well-known songs does not have the mere function of pleasing the spectators who want to hear live what they have learned on the new album and those who seek to try out my already consecrated stuff. The criteria goes much further. The presence of something old, but almost unknown, sheds light on what the eventual union of an evident success with an equally evident and striking song from the new album means”, advanced the author of classics such as “Fora da ordem” and “Capullito de alelí”.
