For over four decades Vinicius Cantuária has been one of Brazil's most accomplished songwriters. His compositions "Lua e Estrela" and "So Voce" are MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) classics that sold over 3 million copies each in the 1980s and 1990s. Despite this success, Cantuária left the Brazilian pop scene in 1994 and moved to Brooklyn, New York in an effort to redefine the art form of Bossa Nova which he so desperately loves. In New York he became a sought after percussionist, guitarist, singer and muse by bold-faced names from jazz and the avant-garde to pop. Many of them –from David Byrne to Jesse Harris, Melody Gardot to Norah Jones, Ryuichi Sakamoto to Caetano Veloso– have, in turn, been eager to guest-star on Cantuária's own releases. In 2014 he returned to live in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, where he recorded Vinicius Canta Antonio Carlos Jobim. In his new recording, Psychedelic Rio, Vinicius Cantuária replaces his customary acoustic guitar with an electric Fender guitar to give another vision of Brazilian music, one of intensity and power that will attract audiences that are looking for new sounds beyond those that have been connected to Brazilian music. Doors open at 6:30 pm; show starts at 7 pm
