Péricles, the eternal vocalist of Exaltasamba known as the King of Voice, delivered a memorable performance on Monday night (7) at the Sunset Stage of Rock in Rio. The singer impressed the audience by presenting a repertoire entirely dedicated to the legendary American record label Motown, showcasing his musical versatility by exploring soul and R&B classics. The show received a standing ovation and is considered one of the most acclaimed performances of this festival edition.
Wearing a blazer with sparkling sequins, Péricles took the stage accompanied by a top-notch band and delivered a true masterclass in music. The setlist featured great classics such as "Ain't no mountain high enough" and "My girl," as well as Stevie Wonder anthems including "Superstition" and "For once in my life." Without losing his elegance, the singer took off his jacket to get the audience moving to "Let's get it on" by Marvin Gaye, and got everyone dancing.
The performance drew praise, and the audience didn't hold back on the ovation. At the end of the show, spectators chanted for more shows and even a tour by the artist, expressing the desire to see Péricles bringing the Motown repertoire to other cities. The King of Voice proved once again that soul and R&B are also his turf, expanding his musical reach beyond the pagode that made him famous.
