Arlindo Cruz is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in Brazilian music, especially in the world of samba and pagode. The singer, songwriter and great master left us at the beginning of August, leaving his fans missing him. His legacy, however, remains alive and strong, echoing in the samba circles and on the radio.
To celebrate this trajectory and pay tribute to the artist who left such a mark on us, Arlindinho, his son and also a singer, has prepared a super tribute that promises to move everyone.

What’s going to happen in this super tribute?
The free concert takes place this Saturday, September 6, and is a must for anyone who likes quality samba and wants to pay their respects to Arlindo Cruz. The event, called ‘CENTRÔ!’, will take place in Praça do Patriarca, in the center of São Paulo, starting at 12:30pm. The program is carefully designed to involve the public in an intense and exciting cultural experience. Check out the line-up for the free festival:

In addition, during the breaks, DJ Zero will be running the sound, stirring up the crowd and ensuring that the energy of the event remains high throughout the afternoon.
