Amazonian artists detail preparation for Musigatos Musical Show

Under the general direction of Amazonian artists Kennedy Fialho and Ítala Lima, the show ‘Espectáculo Musical Musigatos’ has begun the production phase and its launch is scheduled for the second half of 2024. The artists also write the show’s dramaturgy and perform the songs.

Singer Kennedy Fialho reveals that the first inspirations for the work “Musigatos” came from adopting an abandoned kitten on a street in the capital of Amazonas.

“I have never raised cats in my life, when I saw that fragile kitten in need of a home it was such a passion at first. She became a cuddle for me and from there came the first song called ‘Chamego Meu’. I decided to write other songs and, when I saw it, there were already seven (7) songs, because cats have seven lives”, recalls the singer.

Kennedy reveals that he is happy that the work will take the form of a musical show and tells the public that Musigatos will have a new song, released soon on digital platforms. “This song is the icing on the cake of the show, it’s called Astrogato and will close the show leaving a message of reflection and hope for everyone who attends.”

Ítala Lima, who is an actress, singer and cultural producer of the show, says that Musigatos will take to the stage the story of a group of animals who live on the streets of Manaus and are looking for a home.

“In this show, the animals have a ‘voice’ and literally speak. From fragile beings, they transform into strong figures with the mission to change their own destiny and alert humans to how much of a difference they can make when dealing with animals and nature,” he explains.

The production will stand out on the State’s cultural agenda due to the artistic languages ​​that will be presented to the public, as music, theater and dance come together in the show.

“Musigatos involves several professionals from the culture chain: actors, musicians, dancers, event production and communication professionals. So, working with a team like this, without a doubt, means being sure that the show will be created by many incredible hands and the result is a remarkable production for those who attend”, adds the actress.

The show ‘Musigatos Musical Show’ is organized by Sol do Norte Produções Culturais through the Paulo Gustavo Federal Incentive Law, with support from the Government of the State of Amazonas, the State Council of Culture, the State Secretariat for Culture and Creative Economy and the Federal Government , through the Public Notice for Promotion of Arts and Culture.
