Music in Brazil on the Brazil Show

Chaka Khan Live in Rio de Janeiro at the Back 2 Black Festival Interview talks about Brazil, her upcoming projects with Snoop Dogg, Raphael Saddiq, and about how the Back 2 Black festival brings us all together from a common root in Africa. During her performance she took time to tell her hyped up Brazilian fans about her battle with drugs and how God has helped be drug free for the last 7 years. Chaka ran through a string of hits, “I Feel For You”, “Tell Me Something Good”, “Everlasting Love”, “I’m Every Woman” and more hits, also showcasing her phenomenal band and background singers.

Chaka Khan in Rio de Janeiro

Prince cancels his August 27th concert in Rio de Janeiro with an email to the promoters of the Back 2 Black festival stating that he can’t be there on that date.

No other explanation was given and promoters of the festival have offered no other insight as to why His Purple Badness cancelled.

Prince has not performed in Brazil since the first Rock in Rio festival 20 years ago. The cancellation leaves a bitter taste in many Prince fans mouths who have been waiting to see him perform. Many fans have paid for flights and booked hotels in Rio just for the event.

At least Chaka Kahn and Macy Gray are still scheduled to perform, but for those Prince fans, this is of little consequence.

Refunds for those with tickets to the Prince night of the festival will begin this Thursday.

Yes, it reads Prince, Chaka Kahn and Macy Gray in Rio de Janeiro

All three Superstars will perform at the Back 2 Black Festival in Rio de Janeiro – next week August 26, 27,28 and 30th.

With little advertising, this year’s Back 2 Black sneaked up on us, with all the attention going to the Rock in Rio festival next month.

Prince

Prince, one of the most reinvented artists in music with a career spanning more than 30 years and known to rock a concert or two returns to Brazil after a long hiatus.

Chaka Khan

Chaka Kahn probably one of the most underrated singers in the music business (She’s my all time favorite) who’s hit’s include “I’m Every Woman, “Through the Fire” and the Prince penned “I Feel For You” is sure to thrill everyone with ears to hear. I’m hoping pretty sure she’ll do a duet with Prince sometime during the evening.

Macy Gray

Macy Gray, once a member of the Black Eyed Peas and coming off her album The Sellout, “Beauty in the World,” as well as a prolific movie career will bring her unique image and raspy voice to the mix as well.

Seu Jorge

One of my favorite Brazilian artist Seu Jorge will also perform. You may know his music or remember him from the classic film “City of God”

This years Back 2 Black Festival rivals Rock in Rio in Star power, and for the money it’s even a better value.

Also forums on African Brazilian culture, media and economics as well as artists from the African diaspora around the world performing.
