Following a world tour, Pedro Jóia performs at Teatro São Luiz to present a repertoire in which he combines various award-winning works from throughout his career with his most recent album, Mosaico – a return to originals, in a record that travels from fado to flamenco, through oriental music. The guitarist goes on stage accompanied by percussionist José Salgueiro, in a show with special guests such as Quarteto Arabesco, José Salgueiro, Susan Palma Nidel and José Manuel Neto.
This concert also includes a tribute to Carlos Paredes, whose influence profoundly marked Pedro Jóia’s career. On the centenary of the Portuguese guitar master’s birth, Jóia revisits iconic works such as Verdes Anos and other pieces from the album Variações Sobre Carlos Paredes (2001). For this special moment, he is joined by guitarist José Manuel Neto, bringing the timelessness of Paredes’ music to the stage.
Pedro Jóia, one of the most acclaimed contemporary musicians and composers, has built a unique legacy in Portuguese music over the course of three decades. His extraordinary ability to fuse tradition and innovation has translated into a remarkable discography that includes landmark works such as Variações Sobre Carlos Paredes (2001), Jacarandá (2003), À Espera de Armandinho (2008), Zeca (2020) and the most recent Mosaico (2024). Winner of two Carlos Paredes Awards, Jóia has consolidated an international career marked by collaborations with icons such as Gilberto Gil and Ney Matogrosso, as well as memorable partnerships with Mariza and Ricardo Ribeiro. Since 2010, he has been a member of the supergroup Resistência, establishing himself as one of the most versatile figures in Portuguese music.
