Pra Vida / Existe Uma Voz

• Track Listing

One of Rio de Janeiro's most exciting singer-songwriters of the last

fifteen years is now living in Los Angeles, where he stands on the

verge of an overdue American breakthrough. Rogê-born Roger José

Cury-gained an avid following for his swinging samba-funk, tinged

with Brazilian Soul. His acclaim rose when he cowrote the theme song

for the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.

Rogê has completed his first American-made album, Curyman, slated

for release on March 3, 2023. Lavishly produced by the Budos Band's

Thomas Brenneck, a top session guitarist and collaborator with the

stars (Lady Gaga, Beyoncé & Jay-Z, Amy Winehouse), Curyman will

launch Brenneck's new label, Diamond West. The first single, "Pra

Vida" (To Life), is a joyous, celebratory samba "is like a cry for

redemption and resistance, of resilience, " says Rogê, "so that we

don't give in to sadness, to laziness, to a lack of desire to move on

with life. It's the certainty that a new day will dawn."
