“To see Bethânia celebrate fifty years in music at the Municipal, surrounded by singers from different generations.”
Context
On June 10, 2015, the Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro hosts a tribute that shares Maria Bethânia's voice among many singers. Fifty years of a career take the stage. A giant golden fish and photographs fill Gringo Cardia's set, surrounding the singer with references to Bahia.
Bethânia opens with Carcará, O Quereres and Fera Ferida. After getting the lyrics to her brother's song wrong, she apologizes and receives a standing ovation. The evening brings Alcione and Johnny Hooker together, pairs Nana and Dori Caymmi and gives Mariene de Castro a set of songs connected to the orixás.
The celebration does not end at the Municipal. The project travels through Brazilian cities on a tour with its own cast, while the awards performance is released on DVD by Biscoito Fino later in 2015. The recording preserves the alternation between song and spoken word, with Bethânia also returning to center stage for the closing.
- Alcione and Johnny Hooker share Lama, with an appearance by Letícia Sabatella.
- Nana and Dori Caymmi come together for Pra Dizer Adeus.
