From hippie diva to star of Novos Baianos, from fashion icon to symbol of counterculture, and one of the most striking 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 an album in honor of Baby and Pepeu’s 70th birthdays, the singer is on the road with her new tour “Baby do Brasil In Concert,” which will be in New York on September 23 at City Winery.
The show brings together 50 years of music, filled with hits, in nearly two hours, 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 essential 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, along with her greatest hits 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 setlist. From the repertoire of Novos Baianos, A Menina Dança, Acabou Chorare, and Dá Um Rolê, among others, will not be missing.
