Chico Buarque - Roda Viva

The images show the live acclaimed performances of A Banda (1966), Disparada (1966), Roda Viva (1967), Alegria, Alegria (1967) and Sabiá (1968). All commented on by Chico himself.

Chico Buarque - Cinema

The unforgettable magic of cinema songs, forever etched in memory alongside the films, is the theme of this tenth DVD in the series dedicated to the work of composer Chico Buarque. Recorded in the picturesque town of Paraty, the DVD reveals the composer's fascination with cinema and the art of composing for the screen. Chico talks about his participations in various films and teenage idols, such as Marlon Brando and Jeanne Moreau. And he sings Ela Faz Cinema, composed especially for the series.

Chico Buarque - O Futebol

2005

Chico Buarque's passion for football is rivalled only by his connection to music, and sometimes it even takes precedence. In this eighth DVD from the retrospective series of his work, Chico reminisces, at the Maracanã stadium, about the great players and moving moments of Brazilian football, such as the defeat to Uruguay in the 1950 World Cup final. At Confeitaria Colombo in Rio, he performs sambas that speak of football, and on the informal football pitch in Barra da Tijuca, he receives visits from idols Pagão and Pelé. The DVD shows the artist playing football in the cities of Santos, Rio, Lisbon, Barcelona, Paris and Budapest, and also features a selection of memorable plays and goals by stars such as Pelé, Garrincha, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. It also features a meeting with Ronaldinho in Barcelona, where the subject, as expected, was music and football.

Chico Buarque - Romance

2015

Love songs are very common in Brazilian music and also in Chico Buarque's work. Recorded in Paris, this seventh DVD from the retrospective series of the composer's work features hits like 'Eu Te Amo', 'Atrás da Porta', 'Futuros Amantes' and 11 other songs, with appearances by Elis Regina, Daniela Mercury and Edu Lobo. Chico walks through the intimate streets of the French capital and talks about the nature of romantic feelings. He confesses his joy at having inspired romances and observes that while our grandparents' generation turned to poems for seduction, today's couples exchange song lyrics like 'text messages'. He talks about 'piropos', which are verses made to win over the beloved woman, and says that Vinicius was a master of the genre. To illustrate, Chico composed the song 'Outros Sonhos', a beautiful 'piropo', especially for this DVD.
