“To see generations gathered at Rio's Municipal, one year after Luiz Melodia's death.”
Context
One year after Luiz Melodia's death, his songs return to center stage at Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro. On August 15, 2018, the 29th edition of Prêmio da Música Brasileira turns the ceremony into a tribute to the songwriter who received five awards during his lifetime.
With musical direction and piano by João Carlos Coutinho, the show brings generations together. Fabiana Cozza sings Ébano; Céu takes on Salve Linda Canção Sem Esperança. Áurea Martins and Xênia França share Juventude Transviada, while Liniker, IZA and Lazzo Matumbi come together on Negro Gato. Gringo Cardia's set design evokes Rubens Gerchman.
The tribute continues in 2019, when Biscoito Fino releases the recording on CD and DVD. Zélia Duncan's script weaves together collaborations such as Maria Bethânia joining Caetano and his sons on Pérola Negra. Melodia's absence finds an answer as his songs pass among distinct voices.
- Maria Bethânia joins Caetano, Moreno, Zeca and Tom Veloso on Pérola Negra.
- Áurea Martins and Xênia França share Juventude Transviada.
