JOAO BOSCO QUINTET

Brazilian singer-songwriter João Bosco achieved legendary status in his home country, but also at the Bimhuis; during earlier performances the audience was captivated with his unique, hypnotizing music. Bosco wrote unforgettable songs for Elis Regina in the 1970s, when Brazilian pop music suffered from censorship due to the military dictatorship of the time. His song ‘O Bêbado e a Equilibrista’, as performed by Regina, became a national protest song. In his dazzling improvisations he combines samba, bossa nova, rock and jazz. Bimhuiscard holders are required to pay an € 5 surcharge.
