One of Rio de Janeiro’s most exciting singer-songwriters of the last fifteen years is now living in Los Angeles, where he stands on the verge of an overdue Americanbreakthrough. Before the move, Latin Grammy nominee Rogê (pronounced haw-zheh) was the prince of Lapa, the bustling downtown center of Rio’s nightlife. Charismatic and scruffy, with a distinctively raspy yet boyish voice, Rogê—bornRoger José Cury—gained an avid following for his swinging samba-funk, tinged with Brazilian Soul. His acclaim rose when he cowrote the theme song for the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. Rogê’s extremely promising debut on the American scene—which included a 2020tour with world-famous Brazilian singer-actor Seu Jorge and a New York Timesprofile—was cut short by the pandemic, but Rogê is back with a vengeance. Thissummer he will tour six cities on a bill with the Budos Band, the famed Afro-funkgroup from Staten Island; in August he will play the Hollywood Bowl for two nightsas the opening act for the Gipsy Kings.
