When Rogê last played Fasching, he had the crowd swaying, moving, and feeling the rhythm — and that was with just two musicians on stage. Now the Latin Grammy-nominated Brazilian star returns, bringing his soulful guitar, captivating voice, and infectious samba grooves back to Stockholm.
A key figure in the revival of MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) — Brazil’s rich tradition of blending samba, bossa nova, funk, and rock — Rogê is celebrated for breathing new life into this iconic genre. Since relocating from Rio de Janeiro to Los Angeles, Rogê has been on a mission to introduce MPB’s vibrant palette to North America — blending sleek soul with rowdy samba grooves in a sound he describes as “the colorful palette of Brazilian Popular Music.”
His latest album CURYMAN, produced by Thomas Brenneck (The Budos Band) and arranged by the legendary Arthur Verocai, is a celebration of resilience and joy — a call to shake off the blues and embrace life.
“The Rio samba star reaches an international audience at last with this funky, genre-hopping set.” – The Guardian
“One of the albums to hear right now.” – Pitchfork
Expect rich guitar tones, heartfelt vocals, and grooves that fill the room with vibrant energy. Perfect for those craving a taste of Brazil’s musical soul.
