1º Festival Internacional de Artes de Brasília (1st International Festival of Arts) keeps on rocking the city. The highlight of the festival this week is singer Ney Matogrosso.
Ney Matogrosso is a legendary Brazilian artist with an acclaimed career that began back in the 1960s. Mr. Matogrosso helped the Brazilian music to become more colorful and irreverent. As the lead man of the iconic band Secos & Molhados, Mr. Matogrosso shocked the conservatives with his aggressive sexuality.
In his successful career, Mr. Matogrosso experienced diverse musical genres – from rock to bolero – and all these phases can be appreciated in the concert he brings to Brasília: Beijo Bandido Ao Vivo (Bandit Kiss – Live).
Singer Indiana Nomma is set to heat up the audience, presenting her concert right before Ney Matogrosso takes the stage.
