One of the modern masters of MPB takes up a Thursday night residency at the classic Carioca cultural centre on the edge of Lapa at the end of May. A former member of the Grupo Semente, and as such a key part of the Lapa revival at the start of the century, Pedro Miranda has since recorded two solo albums the last of which, Pimenteira, was considered by none other than Caetano Veloso to be a 'collection of masterpieces'. High praise indeed, and well worth a visit, both for the setting and the occasion.
