LIVE:
Angela Ro Ro @ Teatro Ipanema (Ipanema) – It was alone with the piano that Angela Ro Ro officially presented herself to the public in 1979, before releasing her first album, in a legendary show at the Teatro Ipanema, in Rio de Janeiro.
Now the singer returns to her hometown; she will be celebrating her 69th birthday in December. Once again this show presents Ro Ro alone with a grand piano and with her usual irreverent style.
The show has a script based on the repertoire of the first and best album by the artist, Angela Ro Ro, released in 1979 – a year marked in Brazilian music by the boom of female composers like Fátima Guedes, Joyce Moreno, Marina Lima and Angela Ro – with a collection of songs that reconcile the desperate lament of the blues, the attitude of rock, the swagger and dramatic melancholy of samba.
Tickets are between R$30 – R$60 and the show will get going at 9PM.
Angela Ro Ro – Rua Prudente de Morais, 824 – Ipanema
