"Dia Voa" is a documentary that follows Chico Buarque during the recording of his album, capturing exclusive interviews and unseen footage. It was his first album integrated into digital platforms during the promotional process. In just over an hour, the film showcases the conception and production of the album—from Chico’s return to songwriting after a period dedicated to literature (during which he released Leite Derramado, winner of the 2010 Jabuti Award for Best Fiction Book) to the final product.

Five years after his last tour, Chico Buarque returns with a show to launch his newest CD, Chico, which has already sold over 80,000 copies. Despite having one of the most solid and prolific careers in Brazilian Popular Music (MPB) — releasing more than 40 albums over 45 years, including solo works and projects — the composer rarely appears on Brazilian stages. This will be only the sixth show he has performed in the last 36 years. Lasting approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, the setlist is built entirely around the ten songs from the new album. In addition to these, the artist sifted through his vast catalog of over 400 songs—diverse in both genres and themes—to finalize a list of 30 tracks. The project, titled Na Carreira, is a celebration of this great artist’s return to the stage, revisiting classics such as Todo Sentimento, Bastidores, Baioque, O Meu Amor/Teresinha, Anos Dourados, among others.

“Carioca,” Chico Buarque’s first DVD of original songs since As Cidades (1998), features musical direction and arrangements by Luiz Cláudio Ramos and production by Vinícius França. The repertoire includes the choro-canção Subúrbio and Sempre, a track composed for the film O Maior Amor do Mundo, among others. In this work, the artist speaks about his city with the youthful spirit reminiscent of the age when he first earned his famous nickname.

Documentary depicting what happened to the characters in the film Terra para Rose, made by the same director. Shows the life of some 1500 families of landless rural laborers who, for the first time in 1985, occupied an unproductive large landholding, the Annoni plantation in Rio Grande do Sul. After camping out for years in tents, facing down the police and negotiating with the government, the former landless laborers have managed to turn their dream into reality, and are now successful small farmers.

The work of several Brazilian musicians is illustrated through images from different regions of the country in various segments.
