Caetano Veloso
Thursday, 21 September 2023 (CONCLUDED)
Information
The eminent singer of modern Brazilian music will perform for the first time at the Opéra Garnier Monte-Carlo, with a musical group, for a concert drawing from his recent album Meu Coco as well as from his extensive repertoire.
Back then a self-made young singer-songwriter, Caetano Veloso came to prominence within the tumultuous tropicalist movement that brought a healthy wind of libertarian effrontery to Brazilian society in the late 1960s, in the midst of a military dictatorship. Since then, reconciling artistic expression and political activism, he has acquired an iconic status. Of a remarkable richness, his musical language crystallizes multiple influences (samba, bossa nova, pop, folk, psychedelia, avant-garde...).
