5-8 December, Digital Theatre
During the last Holland Festival, 79-year-old Brazilian music legend Arthur Verocai presented a memorable concert in a packed Concertgebouw. Together with the Metropole Orkest and guest artists, he performed the music from his iconic 1972 debut album: a mix of bossa nova, samba, jazz, psychedelia and funk. Early this century, major hip-hop artists such as Snoop Dogg, Common and Ludacris rediscovered the album, sampled it eagerly, contributing to its cult status. Consequently, the concert was attended by young and old alike.
Everyone was wearing big smiles, not least the musicians of the Metropole. They felt like it, and actually thought it was a bit too short after those 15 minutes and only one encore. In fact, everyone thought so. But it also humbled them. So little material, so good: what more could we have especially wished for him. – Cultural Press
