“To see Carlos Lyra celebrate fifty years of music at Canecão, on the night that becomes his first DVD.”
Context
On March 17, 2004, Canecão hosts a celebration that begins before bossa nova. Carlos Lyra marks fifty years of music dating back to Quando Chegares, composed in 1954. On the Rio stage, he gathers friends, interpreters of his work and family members to trace that path without limiting himself to the best-known songs.
The instrumental opening of Influência do Jazz gives the band the first word. Lyra takes on vocals and acoustic guitar while the guests take turns: Leila Pinheiro sings Lobo Bobo, Ivan Lins performs Canção que Morre no Ar and Emílio Santiago meets João Donato's piano on Você e Eu. Kay and Claudio Lyra bring the celebration closer to family.
The finale brings the guests together for Marcha da Quarta-Feira de Cinzas, co-written with Vinicius de Moraes. The celebration finds a lasting form in August 2005, when Biscoito Fino releases Lyra's first DVD. The succession of voices preserves a shared body of work: the composer remains at the center, but he does not need to sing alone to tell his story.
- Emílio Santiago and João Donato join Lyra on Você e Eu.
- Marcha da Quarta-Feira de Cinzas closes the celebration with all the guests.
