Jards Macalé Announces London Show In March 2024
Having worked with some of the biggest names in Brazilian music (Joao Donato, Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso and more), Jards Macalé has gained status as one of the most influential samba and tropicalia artists of his generation and has announced a special live show at the Jazz Café, London, United Kingdom on 10th March 2024.
Macalé’s live performances embody the untamed spirit and boundless musical freedom that define him, where the past intertwines with the present in a breathtaking display of artistic prowess.In 2022, Macalé celebrated the 50th anniversary of his debut solo album, a groundbreaking masterpiece released by Philips in 1972. This iconic record gave us timeless tracks such as Vapor Barato, Mal Secreto, Farinha do Desprezo, Revendo Amigos, and Hotel das Estrelas. It infused samba and bossa nova with the fiery essence of rock, classical harmonies and the improvisational spirit of jazz. As the years passed, a new generation of musicians and fans discovered this gem, fuelling its resurgent popularity and inspiring fresh collaborations. Last year, Macalé assembled a formidable new band for an exhilarating homage to his illustrious body of work, with Gui Held on guitar, Pedro Dantas on bass, and Thoma Harres on drums. His performance embodies the untamed spirit and boundless musical freedom that define him, to a realm where the past intertwines with the present in a breathtaking display of artistic prowess. His music, a conduit of emotion and a mirror to society, continues to weave a sonic tapestry that resonates with the souls of listeners.

Gay rights were hard fought for and hard won. Male homosexuality was not decriminalised in England until 1967. In many countries Lesbianism and Homosexuality remain illegal, and Lesbians are persecuted, sometimes murdered. Even though the fight for rights in this country was ultimately successful, that success is incredibly recent, and cannot be taken for granted.
