Arthur Verocai performs the song SERIADO at the Luckman Theater in Los Angeles at the TIMELESS series on March 15, 2009. Presented by VTech, MOCHILLA, and ArtDontSleep.
It isnt often that the cosmos align as perfectly as they did on Sunday to bring Arthur Verocai to L.A. for the first time. Though some people in attendance may have been familiar with his work through hip-hops skillful integration of his epic sound, there was no mistaking that Verocais symphonic artistry extends beyond the confines of sampling. With a 36-piece orchestra—including Brazilian heavy hitters Ivan Mamao Conti, Aloisio Aguiar, Jose Bertrami and Airto Moreira—Verocai made his fabled 1972 album unfold before all ages of admirers.
Leading his troupe through cascading horns and soaring string arrangements, Verocai looked like an elegant prophet sent to take us on a journey to an unknown heavenly destination. Without hesitation, he opened the night with the intense Karina (Domingo no Grajau), dominated by an all-pervading horn section and Woody Aplanalps purposeful electric guitar.
Sultry classic Dedicada a Ela was given new life by Justo Almarios saxophone, while soon after the mestre himself took the microphone to sing his futuristic lament Caboclo. The most anticipated song of the evening was the larger-than-life Na Boca do Sol, which serves as an emblem of Verocais decidedly Brazilian approach to his visionary fusion of soul, jazz and psychedelic funk. Sung exquisitely by Clarisse Grova, Diana Booker and the recordings original vocalist, Carlos Dafe, it was only fitting that the concert ended with a stepped-up encore of it.
The momentous night ended too soon, but we hope this is not the last time our citys humble ears will be graced by this living legends brilliance. Obrigado, Arthur!
