Rogê

Latin Grammy-nominated and Brazilian Music Awards-winning composer and musician Roger José Cury, aka Rogê brings his acclaimed and infectious samba-funk to Fasching for an evening in the life-affirming embrace of Brazilian melancholy.

At 48, Rio de Janeiro-born Rogê is already a veteran of the Música Popular Brasileira scene, with nine albums released since his debut in 1998 – solo, with a band or in collaboration with Arlindo Cruz or Seu Jorge.

Following in the footsteps of brasse legends like Jorge Ben, Milton Nascimento and the aforementioned Seu Jorge, Rogê makes a soulful and funk-influenced samba style with acoustic guitar swing and sandpaper voice.

His latest album Curyman was listed in MOJO’s top 75 albums of 2023 and is described as a joyful, upbeat samba album with a message of reconciliation and resilience to, as the artist himself says:
“So that we don’t give in to sadness, to laziness, to a lack of desire to move on with life. It’s the certainty that a new day will dawn.”

Having honed his skills at the Carioca da Gema samba club in Rio de Janeiro, Rogê has a magnetic stage presence that you can experience tonight at Kungsgatan 63.
