From the hippie diva to the star of the Novos Baianos, from fashion icon to counterculture symbol, and as one of the most prominent voices of MPB, Baby do Brasil has definitely not stood still in time. After celebrating 50 years of Novos Baianos, half a century of “Acabou Chorare” and releasing the album in celebration of Baby and Pepeu’s 70th birthdays, the singer is on the road with the new tour “Baby do Brasil In Concert”, on September 23, at City Winery.
The show brings together 50 years of music, filled with hits, in nearly two hours of performance and is directed by Allex Colontonio. Baby takes the stage with the same vibe of the artist who inaugurated the culture of electric trios in Brazil. “Vibrating with the audience and exchanging that energy is fundamental for me. We work hard to offer the highest quality in repertoire, arrangements, visuals, and musicality that springs from my soul and the excellent musicians who accompany me,” says Baby, who will have, when the stage allows, three guitars, in addition to keyboards, bass, drums, and percussion.
For the repertoire, she chose to mix bossa nova, chorinho, Brazilian samba, a lot of rock, with a touch of jazz, as well as the great hits of her authorship and new songs. Baby also pays tribute to Gal Costa, Rita Lee, Elza Soares, and Moraes Moreira. Hits like Menino do Rio, Telúrica, Sem Pecado e Sem Juízo, and Masculino e Feminino were selected for the set list. From the repertoire of the Novos Baianos, classics like A Menina Dança, Acabou Chorare, and Dá Um Rolê will also be included, among others.
