Giulia Be, Luisa Sonza, João Gomes, Zeeba, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Paula Lima, Zé Ricardo, Ritchie, Tim Bernardes and Ferrugem at the end of the seventh ‘UBC Award’ Miguel Sá / Disclosure ♪ It was a really immodest party, like warned Paula Lima, President Director of the Brazilian Union of Composers (UBC), when giving voice to the samba Festa immodesta (1974), composed by Caetano Veloso for Chico Buarque, at the beginning of the ceremony in which the Bahian artist was awarded the lifetime achievement award. Last night, December 5th, Caetano Veloso was hailed as a genius popular composer when he received the UBC Award in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), at the headquarters of this copyright institution that brings together the greatest music creators in Brazil. During the ceremony opened by Marcelo Castello Branco, president of UBC, the Bahian artist was revered in a party-show that had musical numbers with the composer’s songbook. Between recitation of verses from songs such as Língua (1984) and O queres (1984), heard in the voice of actress Mariana Ximenes, Caetano Veloso saw – sitting in the front row of the auditorium on the 12th floor of the UBC building, next to the woman and businesswoman Paula Lavigne – names from the Brazilian pop mainstream cover songs from the artist’s work. Despite the imposing presence of the Nagô Buddha Gilberto Gil, who sang Coração vagabundo (1967) alone with the singular guitar, with a gentle reverence for João Gilberto (1931 – 2019), master of both Caetano and Gil, the cast was dominated by outstanding names in the current generation of national pop. Gilberto Gil sings ‘Coração vagabundo’ at the seventh ‘Prêmio UBC’, in Rio de Janeiro, in a ceremony that celebrated the work of Caetano Veloso Miguel Sá / Divulgação Ferrugem confirmed himself as a good singer when performing the song Você é linda (1983). Luísa Sonza used emotional and vocal intensity to give the emotional message of Não me regret (2006). João Gomes made Prayer to Time (1979). With passages in falsetto, Tim Bernardes performed in the heights of Trilhos Urbanos (1979) in a number made with Jaques Morelenbaum and Pretinho da Serrinha. Zeeba sang You don’t know me (1972) while Giulia Be moved Caetano himself by reliving the impressionist journey of London London (1970). In another great moment, Ritchie illuminated Shy moon (1984) with prog and Celtic touches, singing with vigor, playing the flute and later revealing the reason he was invited to record this song as a duet with Caetano on the album Velô (1984). Popstar who fills gyms and arenas, Jão amended Canto do gente de um place (1975) with the song O lionzinho (1977). Criolo, on the other hand, showed himself at home when he performed Desde que o samba é samba (1992), leaving, at a certain point, the audience to sing the samba alone. After performing their respective numbers, all the artists also bowed to Caetano with speeches in which they expressed the “honor” and “privilege” of being there saluting a popular composer who has become a reference in Brazilian music since the 1960s. Except Gilberto Gil. Giulia Be passes through ‘London London’ in the show that celebrated the work of Caetano Veloso at the UBC headquarters Miguel Sá / Disclosure “For you, there are no words. Speechless, my brother”, said Gil, aware that there is nothing more to say about Caetano Veloso, except that we need to see and hear Caetano Veloso. After presenting the Brazilian Composer Award to the honoree (“Very happy to have fallen into this place as a popular composer. The best place I could fall into… in Bahia”, summed up Caetano in a few words), the immodest party ended with the collective singing of Odara (1977). Alongside the guest artists and the show’s artistic director, Zé Ricardo, the composer laureate of the seventh edition of the UBC Prize led the choir of music in which he proposes singing and dancing to make the world happier. At least last night, the recipe worked. Luísa Sonza performs ‘I don’t regret’ at the show-party in honor of Caetano Veloso Miguel Sá / Disclosure
