Between golden beaches and bohemian nights, the cradle of Bossa Nova, Rio opens its arms to welcome the Candlelight Rio de Janeiro concert in tribute to this musical genre that emerged at the end of the 1950s and revolutionized Brazilian music, making it one of the country’s most emblematic musical expressions through its elegant harmonies and poetic lyrics.
Classics by greats such as João Gilberto, Vinícius de Moraes and Tom Jobim come to life in arrangements specially created to thrill in this intimate musical experience that promises to enchant the hearts of everyone present at this beautiful tribute.
Candlelight Tribute to Bossa Nova
Who knew that a whispery guitar like João Gilberto’s could change the way music was made? Get ready to embark on this journey full of nostalgia, sailing through the iconic melodies of Bossa Nova, where each note carries a bit of the essence of Rio: light, romantic and full of soul.
In a perfect union between light and sound, be transported to the golden sands as the sun sets on a late afternoon to the sound of “Garota de Ipanema”, between the swing of “Só Danço Samba” and the poetry of “Canto de Ossanha”, while “Águas de Março” flows like a stream of emotions.
Under the glow of thousands of candles, the delicate sound of Desafinado echoes as you remember that, yes, it is possible to be charmingly out of tune, while “Corcovado” brings the city’s most iconic view in chords full of depth and makes us live in the present moment as if it were eternal. Bossa Nova continues to rock hearts and conquer generations – all in a setting that is pure “Samba da Bênção“.
With selected dates and limited tickets, secure your place now so you don’t miss the chance to live this experience that is pure poetry in motion, because waiting too long can turn your “Samba Da Benção” into “Onde Anda Você“.
Remember: doors open 30 minutes before the show, so pack your best tones and come and be part of this unforgettable evening. Candlelight Rio de Janeiro concerts take place in the city’s most special venues, with tributes to the greats of classical music and inspiring reinterpretations of hits from pop, rock and more.
