During the 12th Brazilian Film Festival, the centenary of Bossa Nova composer Vinicius de Moraes will be celebrated with a concert in the park. Join Toquinho, Vinicius’ friend and partner, as he pays homage to the life and work of the great poet.
Antônio Pecci Filho, better known as Toquinho, is a Brazilian singer, guitarist and composer. Toquinho's professional career took off in the 1960s at shows at the famous Paramount Theater in São Paulo. His first
big hit was composed in 1970 with Jorge Ben Jor, "Que Maravilha" (What a Wonder), and that same year he was invited by Vinicius de Moraes, co-writer of the worldwide hit song "Garota de Ipanema" (The Girl from Ipanema), to participate in a series of shows in Buenos Aires.
