The album 'Passarinho urbano,' released by Brazilian singer Joyce Moreno in 1976, is being celebrated on its 50th anniversary with two performances scheduled for February 20 and 21 at Sesc Belenzinho in São Paulo. Initially intended as a standalone show introduced in 2019, it has gained a renewed appreciation, reflecting the album's importance in Joyce's discography, which diverges from her usual compositions that blend samba-jazz and bossa nova influences.

Joyce Moreno, who first gained recognition in 1964, has established herself as a key figure in Brazilian music, known for her contributions that resonate with the femininity and complexity of her songwriting. The album 'Passarinho urbano' represents a significant departure from her typical style, marking a rare exploration in her body of work. This divergence has captured the attention of music lovers and critics alike, leading to an increased interest in her lesser-known pieces.

The upcoming shows not only highlight the legacy of 'Passarinho urbano' but also celebrate Joyce's evolution as an artist who has influenced numerous female musicians, including iconic figures like Elis Regina and Maria Bethânia. As these performances approach, they are anticipated to draw fans and new audiences eager to experience the cultural impact of this cult album and its continuing relevance in today's music scene.
