Renowned Brazilian musician Luiz Caldas, celebrated as the 'father' of axé music, is set to participate in a series of public events at the Sesc venues in São Paulo from March 4 to 6. This exciting lineup includes a free public discussion focusing on his landmark 1985 album 'Magia', which played a pivotal role in establishing the axé genre within Brazilian music. During this event, Caldas will share insights into the creation of this influential work, reflecting on its significance and the evolution of the music style over the decades.

As part of the events, on March 5 and 6, Caldas will perform his 'Voice and Guitar' shows at the Raul Cortez Theatre. With an impressive career spanning over 50 years, he will not only entertain audiences with his performance but also offer a deep dive into his musical journey, discussing his diverse influences and the cultural impact of axé music throughout the years. These events present fans and newcomers alike with a rare opportunity to engage directly with one of the genre's founding figures and gain a greater appreciation for the evolution of Brazilian music.

This week of activities at Sesc underscores the importance of cultural institutions in promoting local artists and their historical contributions. By facilitating these interactions, Sesc not only honors Caldas' legacy but also helps to keep the spirit of axé music alive, ensuring it remains a vibrant part of Brazil's cultural identity.
