PRA QUE CHORAR
Celso Sim & Arthur Nestrovski
Voice and Guitar

Tha concert that releases the albuns "Pra Que Chorar" (Selo SP) and "Chico Violao" (Biscoito Fino).
In the show, Celso Sim, and Arthur Nestrovski make the complete repertoire of the CD "Pra Que Chorar", plus some songs by Chico Buarque, for solo guitar, and some others, sung.

"Pra Que Chorar", brings together some songs by Caymmi, Cartola, Ismael Silva and Rodrigues Lupicinio, among others, side by side with some of the Lieder of the 19th century composers Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert, in Brazilian versions of Arthur Nestrovski. It also includes Love (Vladimir Maiakosvski / Caetano Veloso), partnerships between Arthur Nestrovski and Ze Miguel Wisnik and Caca Machado, and other songs written by Nestrovski. In the end it is a collection of song, in its essential sense, so familiar to us all, who grew with the Brazilian popular music, sung poetry.

Here, "high" and "low" cultures, classical and popular, are only one manifestation of this art, and perhaps the uniqueness of Brazil to the world, the richness of what we're made and what we do: Brazilian song. The disc opens the seloSP Sem Paredes, created by the singer Celso Sim, to work and develop and materialize independent music. Distribution www.tratore.com.br
