Toquinho

COLORE BRASILE

The closing night of the SMS Venice event saw perform on the stage of Plaza S. Marco, Toquinho, considered one of the most popular Brazilian artists in the world, accompanied by Venezia Suona Big Band, the historic jazz orchestra composed of 25 elements that more than 30 years have been a productive laboratory, forged continuously of grand and prestigious Venetian musicians. In the magical framework of the Lagoon the Brazilian artist, who carries on his shoulders more than 40 years of career experience, with his unmistakable voice and his impeccable instrumental technique has retraced the most outstanding moments in his career and dedicated in homage to the 'Bossa Nova' that this year he would celebrate 50 years of success. <>.

Toquinho, who continues to return in Italy with great enthusiasm, for the evening of Colore Brasile he mixed old songs and successes of instrumental pieces: 'it is an homage – he says himself – of two great guitarists of who understand everything there is to know about the guitar: Baden Powell and Paulinho Nogueira”. During the concert the artist also suggested also themes that link him profoundly to Italy, like La voglia e la Pazzia (Desire and Madness), 'that Ornella Vanoni interpreted in a valuable way, and the success of Acquarello'. An evening of Brazilian rhythms and not only, a concert that, in the style of the artist, is never the same as the one before, because 'every concert is always a surprise even for me'. The evening with the Brazilian musician, that has given all her support to SMS Venice was the only one of her kind, 'a difficult experience to replicate, because the music doesn’t have boundaries, it’s a universal language. What more can I say Veneza is Veneza'.
