TICKETS + INFORMATION

I’m sure you all care, but as I told you last week, Marisa Monte’s 1994 Rose and Charcoal may be my single favorite Brazilian pop album. The lilting rhythms, the indelible melodies — all toughened by a clear conversance with the avant-garde (Philip Glass and Laurie Anderson participate). I was worried she wasn’t going to be good any more — you know how it is with pop musicians — but her last album (her first in 10 years) put that worry to bed.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Go to Berimbau in the Village for great Brazilian before the show and then samba up to the Park.
