Brazilian singer and songwriter João Bosco turned 80 and celebrated the date with a special recording alongside Caetano Veloso, 84. The two shared a studio in São Conrado to record the song "Sinhá," which had already been composed by João Bosco in partnership with Chico Buarque in 2011.
The song addresses the story of a slave accused of having watched his lady while she took a river bath with, as described in the article, "his privates exposed." The theme addresses an episode from the slavery period in Brazil, dealing directly with the dynamic between masters and enslaved people.
The recording represents a milestone in the celebration of João Bosco's 80th birthday, bringing together two of the greatest names in Brazilian music in a collaboration that highlights the importance of the singer in the country's musical scene. The album celebrating his 80th birthday thus gains a special track featuring Caetano Veloso.
