Bossa nova, samba, tropical jazz and popular Brazilian music will arrive at the Jameos del Agua Auditorium at the hands of the Brazilian singer-songwriter "Toquinho", a historic figure who is celebrating his half century on stage. A tour that will take him through some of the best festivals and theaters in the country, and that lands in Lanzarote this Saturday, June 25, at 8:00 p.m.
Singer, guitarist, composer, arranger and producer, "Toquinho's" career is marked by successes since the appearance of his first work, "O Violao de Toquinho" (1966). One of his most recognized and international, "Acuarela" (1983), is a magical song that speaks of dreams and that definitively catapulted to stardom a musician who has collaborated with artists of the stature of Chico Buarque, Vinicius de Moraes, Gianfrancesco Guarneri, María Creuza and Zimbo Trío, among others.
The CEO of the Tourist Centers, Benjamín Perdomo, encourages the population of the island "not to miss an appointment with one of the greatest, with an artist of international stature who gives meaning, brilliance and global projection to the cultural proposal of the Tourist Centers."
Tickets to enjoy the "Toquinho" concert at the Jameos del Agua Auditorium are now on sale on the website of the Centers for Art, Culture and Tourism.
About "Toquinho"
Antonio Pecci, his real name, is a Brazilian musician and singer-songwriter who was born in 1946. "Toquinho" -little one, as his mother called him during his childhood - began playing the guitar at the age of 14 with Paulo Nogueira.
With more than 40 edited works and countless world tours behind him, "Toquinho" is a musician who has become a reference for a generation that discovered bossa nova, Brazilian music and samba thanks to hits such as "Boca da Noite", "Eu sei que vou te amar” or “Tarde em Itapoá”, but who has a wide and varied musical record, as demonstrated in his most recent work, a collaboration on the single “Comerte Entera”, from C. Tangana's album “El Madrileño” (2021).
