Chico Buarque is considered by many as one of the greatest lyricists in Brazilian music. The artistic community, of course, shares this opinion. Not surprisingly, there are several versions of Chico's classics, often presented live. On WePlay, through the digital booklet, it's easy to find songs by the composer in other artists' shows.


Here we list some highlights:


Christina Guedes, Fernanda Guedes and Ingrid Goldfeld - Show Palavra de Mulher


Christina Guedes, Fernanda Guedes, and Ingrid Goldfeld didn't interpret just one song but created an entire show with Chico Buarque's songs. "Palavra De Mulher" is a scenic-musical spectacle with songs portraying women in the first person.


Adriana Calcanhotto in "Futuros Amantes"


Everyone knows that Adriana Calcanhotto is one of the best interpreters in the country, and the singer surprised again with a beautiful version of the classic "Futuros Amantes." You can watch this interpretation in the show "Margem Finda Viagem."


Monica Salmaso in "Ciranda da Bailarina"


Monica Salmaso and Chico Buarque are great friends and have even toured together. One outstanding interpretation by the singer is in the show that celebrated the 50 years of TV Cultura, performed with the Brasil Jazz Sinfônica and conducted by Nelson Ayres. The song in question is "Ciranda da Bailarina," a song that has accompanied us since childhood. A beautiful moment!


These and many other versions of Chico Buarque's compositions can be watched on WePlay.
