Arthur Verocai & Nu Civilisation Orchestra

In the organizer's words:

In 1972, Brazilian composer and musician Arthur Verocai recorded an album that was a hit with critics and audiences alike - and is now one of the greatest milestones in Brazilian popular music. "I could listen to the album everyday for the rest of my life," said producer Madlib about Verocai's 30-minute masterpiece, which combined jazz, bossa nova and psychedelic folk to create a new sound that is as relaxed as it is exciting.

Arthur Verocai's second career began in the 90s, when US rappers such as MF DOOM and Ludacris sampled his orchestral harmonies and his 72 album was considered one of the most valuable records of all time. Verocai went on to release further albums, arranged for bands such as BADBADNOTGOOD, Hiatus Kaiyote and Tyler, The Creator, and sold out major concert halls such as the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and London's Barbican in 2024. The fact that young people between the ages of 20 and 30 in particular flock to his concerts shows Arthur Verocai's cross-generational appeal. Now the musician, who was born in 1945, is coming to Europe to play as a headliner at major festivals and exclusively in Germany at the Elbphilharmonie - including with singer Rogê, who last played at the Überjazz Festival at Kampnagel, and the 20-piece Nu Civilization Orchestra: one of three cooperation concerts between the Elbphilharmonie and the Kampnagel International Summer Festival.
