They retrieve the musical tradition of orchestras and dance bands: “It is not a mere tribute to Carmen Miranda, is reviving her music today.” The musician João Paulo Feliciano, the Real Combo Lisbonense, points out that Carmen Miranda made over 320 songs. So long repertoire to discover, beyond the obvious. “The choice of songs for the show have this narrative sense, to go Carmen aspects of life.”
Also known by lush and tutti-frutti turbans, Carmen was the Canaveses Marco to Brazil with only 1 year. Later, he packed his bags for the USA. The Carmen herself, when he returned to Brazil, was accused of having sold to America and wrote “They said I came back Americanized”.
“In fact, it was Portuguese, Brazilian and American, was adding nationalities” , says Feliciano, and kept forever, until the last day of life, connection to Portugal.
Tonight, an initiative organized by the Marco de Canaveses House, the Royal Combo Lisbonense back to the origin of it more particularly the Lowland Sheep, “the little village where she was born”, and the stage is “next to the church where Carmen was baptized.” “All this can only give a special meaning to this show,” concludes the musician. Admission is free.
