The first performance of the event was given by veteran Sandra de Sá, who took the stage just before 1:30 p.m. The audience still occupied a small part of the dance floor and seats, but followed the show with interest and enthusiasm, singing the choruses of famous songs such as “Retratos e Canções” (which Sandra called “Melô da Masturbação”) and “Olhos Coloridos”. With her perfect voice, Sandra knew how to capture the audience’s attention.
Then Rael entered, captivating the audience with a graceful and diverse performance, combining several points of black musical references, from his anthem “Hip Hop É Foda” to a version of Bob Marley and a cover of Chic (“Le Freak”) to honor the event. The apotheosis of the show comes with a reinterpretation of “Lucro” by BaianaSystem, which makes the audience jump loudly. And it was still 3:30 p.m.
The next show is in charge of Criolo. The entrance is powerful, with a strong rhythm and an intense atmosphere. In his own way, the rapper glorifies the history of Chic Show by mixing the show with his own compositions, such as “Convoque seu Buda” and the classic “Não Existe Amor em SP”, and interventions by DJ DanDan.
This is how dance songs like “Bam Bam” (Sister Nancy) enter the show, in which the criollo asks the audience to do small steps, as was the custom in the chic show dances, and “I Love You” (Minnie Riperton). The show closes in a samba circle atmosphere.
“Prone to fits of apathy. Problem solver. Twitter buff. Wannabe music advocate.”
