Following the release of his album Curyman II in November 2024, Brazilian singer-songwriter Rogê and his band are touring around the globe to perform his joyous, celebratory samba music. In anticipation of his show at Le Guess Who? 2025, watch their performance live at Jazz Sous Les Pommier 2025 in Coutances, France.
With his celebratory albums Curyman and Curyman II, Rogê seeks to spread joy, “so that we don’t give in to sadness, to laziness, to a lack of desire to move on with life.” It’s no coincidence that the Brazilian singer-songwriter is considered a key figure in the revival of MPB (Brazilian Popular Music), a genre rooted in resistance and the country’s rich cultural heritage. The artist honours bossa nova’s colourful rhythms and harmonic complexity; expanding its boundaries with cinematic string arrangements and electric textures, Rogê creates his soul-stirring world.
Rogé performs Le Guess Who? 2025 on Saturday 8 November. Also performing at the festival are a.o. Adrian Younge, Tiago Caetano, Índio da Cuíca, and many more.
