Paulo Costa is a Brazilian artist who began his journey at the age of seven and who now, at 34, has developed into a global multi-talent. His diverse career spans several areas as a multi-instrumentalist musician, singer and composer, with projects in Brazil, Sweden and South Africa. He has collaborated with prominent artists and performed on stages around the world, contributing to a dialog in both music and storytelling.
His latest project, Oceanico, actively celebrates cultural diversity through a debut album featuring fourteen musicians from two continents. This project resulted in a nine-piece band featuring some of the best local musicians in South Africa. Paulo first came to Sweden in 2023, and since then he has collaborated with some of Gothenburg's top musicians and music projects.
In this concert, he offers a carefully selected repertoire of Brazilian music, interpreting successful songs by Gilberto Gil, Djavan, João Bosco, Lenine, Tom Jobim and other legendary artists. All performed with guitar, clarinet, percussion and vocals, using a loop station to seamlessly create a unique and rich soundscape on his own.
