Paulo Ramos is synonymous with elegance, class, quiet strength, warm gentleness… and impeccable Brazilian music, of course. The artistic director of the Fête de la Musique de Tremblant, Angèle Dubeau, gave the veteran guitarist and singer the task of bringing the warmth and sunshine of his native country to the first of the two major shows in the 2024 edition. Mission accomplished. It must be said that it wasn’t difficult for this godfather of Brazilian music made in Quebec. The man has a lot of experience, and a lot of friends. After launching out on his own, but accompanied by his faithful quintet made up of Sacha Daoud, Daniel Bellegarde, Dan Gigon, John Sadowy and Rodrigo Simoes, Paulo invited a number of regulars to his concerts, including the excellent Bia. She offered up a few songs, including a beautifully modified and ‘pimped’ Chega de Saudade, as well as daring a few capoeira steps! The Quebec-Brazilian beauty is still in fine form! Guitarist and singer Rommel Ribeiro, Winnipeg-born singer Annick Brémaud and two dancers added the right layer of style to make this Brazilian evening an undeniable public success.
