Solidarity Concert in favor of the ‘Novo Futuro’ Association

Altice Arena

Last Thursday, October 13th, another concert was held in favour of the Novo Futuro Association. This concert had, once again, the High Sponsorship of His Excellency the President of the Republic, who also attended the show.

This year, to brighten up the party, he was invited and we can say, honoured, Tozé Brito, composer, lyricist, and singer.

Benjamim, the presenter on duty, said that in 2020, at the invitation of Inês Meneses, João Gouveia, João Gil and himself had been invited to honour Tozé Brito on his seventieth birthday, and thus, together, they produced the album ‘Tozé Brito (of) Novo’.

The album that gave rise to this concert includes a very small selection of classic songs from the vast work of Tozé Brito, having invited several singers from the national scene, very talented friends, to sing with them some of the most famous hits.

Benjamim thanked the Associação ‘Novo Futuro’ for the possibility of, for the first and only time, presenting this album live. And so throughout the night, themes were heard, all of them with new musical arrangements, such as ‘Sábado à Tarde’ sung by Tiago Bettencourt, ‘A Cor do Teu Batom’ by Samuel Úria.

Ana Bacalhau and Mitó made the first duo of the night singing ‘Canção da Alegria’, The second duo of the night composed by Rita Redshoes & Miguel Guedes interpreted ‘Uma Nova Maneira’.

This was followed by the voices of Selma Uamusse in ‘Papel Principal’, which deserved an extraordinary ovation from the audience and Tomás Wallenstein (vocalist of Capitão Fausto) who, in his own way, interpreted ‘Depois de Ti’, having also deserved very special applause.

The friendly Helena Coelho, an original member of the Portuguese group ‘Doce, for whom Tozé wrote several songs, performed ‘É Demais’, which had as a chorus the entire audience that acceded to the concert, many of them got up to sing with her.

‘Eva’, ‘Em Segredo’ and ‘Não Hesitava’ were performed by Catarina Salinas, Joana Espadinha and António Zambujo.

Perhaps one of the most iconic songs ever written by Tozé Brito was ‘Olá, So Como Vais?’, sung by B Fachada & Benjamin, but with the very special participation of Tozé Brito, who received a standing ovation from the audience.

This was followed by the themes ‘Zé Gato’ written for a television series with lyrics by Jorge Palma and music by Tozé Brito in the series ‘Zé Gato’.

At the end of the concert, all the artists were called to the stage to, with the honoured artist, perform a timeless song ’20 Anos’.

And because the public asked for it and the honoree deserved it, Tozé Brito returns to the stage because, according to him, it’s time for thanks,I feel the need to thank you‘ starting with all the musicians who accompanied him over decades, going through all the composers and performers who sang and continue to sing their songs. Tozé claims to feel more like a songwriter than a singer, and he is immensely grateful to the set of voices that gave rise to the concert. He thanked the public, and the friends who came to watch thanked the President of the Novo Futuro Association and finally thanked the President of the Republic for his presence.

The concert proceeds as the singer-songwriter said in a ‘soft’ way with Tozé Brito interpretingContigo‘, a very old song. The honoured artist considers that ‘all songs are love songs‘, whether addressed to anyone or for any reason and that’s why he offered us a lot of love that night.
