Kiko Loureiro Tarja Turunen 's fans by going on stage during the singer's performance last Saturday, the 24th, at Tokio Marine Hall, to do a cover of "Ovelha Negra," a classic by the eternal Rita Lee .
The performance marked the Finnish artist's farewell to Brazilian stages alongside Marko Hietala , former member of Nightwish . The tour in Brazil began on May 18th and concluded with this final show.
The show was divided into three parts: an orchestral set with Tarja, a solo performance by Marko — which included unreleased songs — and finally, a powerful selection of symphonic metal classics.
The beautiful tribute to the late artist and icon of Brazilian rock not only moved those present at the concert venue, but was also a wonderful opportunity for the former Angra and Megadeth to return to his Brazilian roots. A video of the performance was posted on Top Link Music's Instagram page.
Kiko Loureiro and Marty Friedman will perform in Brazil in June.
Kiko Loureiro and Marty Friedman , his former Megadeth bandmate, will perform in eight Brazilian cities in June. The shows are part of the Theory of Mind , which celebrates the release of the album of the same name and the careers of both guitarists. Tickets are already on sale through the guitarist's website .
In addition to marking the return of the former Angra member to Brazilian stages, the tour will also feature Felipe Andreoli on bass, Bruno Valverde on drums, and Alírio Netto on vocals. “It’s a joy to be with such a talented band on this tour. I can’t wait to see the fans again and perform the songs from Theory of Mind alongside Marty,” commented Kiko.
