A turnê internacional da Maria Rita, “Voz e Piano” com Tiago Costa está chegando ao fim. Foram sete shows lotados, que receberam críticas maravilhosas como do jornal NY Times e do prestigiado site All About Jazz.
A cantora faz seu último show em Los Angeles, nesta sexta-feira (14), no Walt Disney Concert Hall. O concerto será especial: Maria Rita fará uma homenagem ao grande músico Oscar Castro Neves, falecido ano passado. No repertório, os clássicos “Águas de Março”, “Corcovado”, “Manhã de Carnaval” e “Samba do Avião”, com a participação especial de três músicos americanos que tocavam com Oscar : Don Grusin, Alex Acuña e Brian Bromberg.
Maria Rita já havia cantando as músicas, “Corcovado” e “Samba do Avião” com Oscar e sua banda no concerto “50 anos de Bossa Nova” na praia de Ipanema, em 2008, e em Los Angeles em 2009. “As outras duas são clássicos da geração de Oscar, que eu prepararei exclusivamente para cantar para ele”, diz a cantora.
Para a divulgação nos EUA, Maria Rita escreveu:
I just found out about Oscar Castro Neves’ passing. I already knew of his condition, and received the news rather emotionally. However, my heart was not yet ready for the goodbye to the man with the generous look in his eye and a smile that felt like a hug, signs of a true gentleman. It was not ready for the goodbye to the passionate father and grandfather (oh, he could brag about them for hours…). This heart was not yet ready for the goodbye to the ingenious artist – who could also be so simple, humble in all that ingenuity; the musical partner who could be so vibrant because of a song (like every musician should be); to the musical director who could be so patient with this incredulous and nervous singer performing right in front of that living legend.
Oscar, it was a great honor and a joy and a gift and a treat to have the opportunity to share the stages with you. I know that Music feels the same.
With all my carinho,
Maria Rita
