Last night #SummerStage brought to Central Park, some of the bests of the music Ney Matogrosso, Francisco El Hombre, Fado Bicha, Surma DJ Set.
Ranked by Rolling Stone as the third greatest Brazilian singer of all time, Ney Matogrosso came up in the ’70s with Secos e Molhados, but his flamboyant stage theatrics, loud costumes, and singular high-pitched countertenor voice have made him one of those distinctly unique artists to come out of Latin America in the 20th century. Recipient of a Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Matogrosso will perform in Central Park in a rare visit to the US. The self-described “pachanga folk” band Francisco El Hombre created their latest album Casa Franciscoin isolation under the watchful eye of videocameras, livestreaming its production as a pseudo-reality show. Their 2017 song “Triste, Louca ou Má” (Sad, Crazy or Bad) was nominated for a Latin Grammy. The showcase also features two artists from the motherland: Lisbon’s Fado Bicha, a queer, anti-racist, feminist duo pushing the boundaries of traditional fado and challenging Portugal’s political status quo, and DJ set by Surma, a one-woman-band who wields a dozen instruments to accompany an ethereal voice.
What a vibe #SummerStage, the shows was amazing, such great vibe. This event is a #MustGo with all family and friends. I’m always impressed how everything is organized. For sure one of the best parts of summer in central park is Summer Stage.
