Pau de Raul confirms the presence of two other artists: Pedro Bondi and Mauricio Paya

Paya sang in the premiere of O Pao do Raul, 31 years ago, at Circo Foador, in Rio de Janeiro. Pedro Bondi has listened to Raúl Seixas on his father’s tape recorder since he was young, and on November 12, he took to the Bahian stage for the first time to play the role of the Brazilian rock king. They both bring rock’n’roll vitality and irreverence through their veins and find Rawlsexista’s work a source of research and inspiration. What to expect from their appearance at TCA’s Concha Acústica show O Baú do Raul are interpretations of the intensity of what Raulzito’s transgressive music has generated in their lives as artists.

“Raoul is one of my biggest references as an artist, because of his social unrest, his criticism, his irreverence, his intelligence, and the sense of humor that he knew how to use in his songs, and in his work. He was a scientist who was willing to try other approaches, and this is where the new was born. He was an innovator, a visionary.” , and a man ahead of his time and I admire him very much. I remember that when I was young, my father used to listen to Raoul a lot, and ever since then, those words sparked my interest. I remember that I also received a small book about his thoughts as a gift and I was able to delve deeper into Raoul as a person. In a way What, my worldview today, my formation as a person, as an artist, as a citizen, is also due to this very strong influence of Raoul.

“Raúl’s first pao was 31 years ago, in El Salvador, and then he went to Rio, where I entered when I was 19. I had the band Baia & Rockboys, and we went to the Circo Voador office, talked to Maria Juçá, who introduced me to Kika Seixas and said that There was no more room for any gravitas. She asked us to play after the entire festival program was over and I agreed. Then, what was supposed to be three to five songs, ended up being an hour and a half, and we were called in for the next day as well. That was my 21st and August 22, 1992. After that, I made all the Baú do Raul releases, and recorded a DVD in 2004, in which I sang Idiots goneI did a suit-and-tie scene where I teared everything up at the end, and then I did a couple of songs on the second DVD, SOS that it Babylon lottery. “This will be the first time I perform Raul’s Baú in El Salvador, I have a great relationship with everyone, and I am very happy,” celebrates Baia, who was born in El Salvador, lived in Rio de Janeiro for many years and now lives in the United States.

In addition to Baía and Pedro Bondé, composer, poet and writer from Pernambuco Llerinha, lead singer of the group Cordel do Fogo Encantado, among the confirmed guests of the DJ is Vivi Seixas, the youngest daughter of Raúl Seixas, the wonderful host of the night. Who is also expectedly involved in what will be the second Bahian release of O Baú do Raul, since the project also debuted on Concha Acústica, in 1992.

“I was 11 years old when I went to my father’s first tribute concert at Concha Acústica, and it was my mother Kika who created the event. I was a brat wearing ripped jeans, pretending to be a rock singer. I lost my father 3 years ago. For me, it would be… It is very touching to return to El Salvador to honor him in the place where it all began. Even more exciting is to be one of the hosts of this event and to welcome so many wonderful and talented artists. I am sure it will be a beautiful night, just as my father deserves it!”, celebrates Vivi.

The show on November 12 is the first work of a larger project – “O Baú do Raul – Raul Seixas 10.080 Anos – Salvador”, which will move the music scene in Bahia to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the birth of superstar Maluku Belleza, which will be completed in 2025. The goal is to make Concha Acústica is the most delirious place for passionate rawsexistas, all ready to fill their lungs with singing and celebrate the immortality of the work of this genius artist, who left a unique mark on the world and in the hearts of his fans. After all, in the transformation that life represents, what does not change is the audience’s love and admiration for the eternal Raulzito.
