Jazz artists such as Eliane Elias and metal bands including Sepultura aside, I can count the number of Brazilian acts I’ve heard perform on one hand. I added Tim Bernardes to my pathetically short list on Saturday, May 13. Partly because he echoes the música popular brasileira of the 1970s, Mil Coisas Invisíveis was my #14 album of 2022. I confirmed Bernardes has the voice of an angel during the solo concert. The event was a rare opportunity for me to carouse in the presence of the Brazilians who made up the majority of the audience of about 250. Do I dare dream of seeing Gilberto Gil one day?
