“To see Alcione turn her longstanding bolero project into a DVD at Cidade das Artes in 2016.”
Context
In September 2016, Alcione brings to Cidade das Artes a project that premiered in May at Metropolitan. Samba does not need to disappear for romantic songs to take center stage. Boleros turns a longtime strand of her repertoire into the focus of an entire show, also prepared for a DVD release.
Onstage, Banda do Sol accompanies the singer through a program divided into fall, winter, spring, and summer. Verses by Elisa Lucinda connect the seasons. Sylvia Nazareth joins her aunt on A Sombra do Teu Sorriso. Risque, Segredo, and Corsário bring different generations of Brazilian songwriting together through the same romantic lens.
The recording is released on CD and DVD in 2017 by Biscoito Fino. The project also incorporates studio recordings: Paixão de D'Artagnan brings together Alcione and Alexandre Pires and appears among the DVD extras. The release preserves a deliberate choice: to give the romantic interpreter the space that her association with samba does not always leave in view.
- Sylvia Nazareth shares A Sombra do Teu Sorriso with her aunt.
