Bebel Gilberto, Carlinhos Brown and Sergio Mendes’s pocket show was a smashing hit on Tuesday, within the world premiere of "Rio" in Cinepolis Lagoon on the south side of Rio. On the set list, the film’s soundtrack. Bebel opened the presentation with "Samba de Orly" by Chico Buarque. After that, Carlinhos, in full on performance mode, took the stage with an instrument that sounded like chirping birds. Chilling!

* Since Carlinhos signs seven of the thirteen tracks, he just kept on playing. He sang next to the American Siedah Garrett, a partner of Michael Jackson, who did great backing vocals. Carlinhos made all gringos dance to "Funky Monkey", which has parts in Portuguese and has since been nicknamed “Funk do Macaquinho.” Glamurama thinks it’s sure to be a hit on dance floors.

* Sergio Mendes also pleased the crowd, especially when he played the hit "Mas Que Nada". We missed Jamie Foxx, who sings a song from Carlinhos Brown on the track, and potboiler Will.I.Am, at least in the audience. Both, alas, left early…

* In the absence of the duo, who stole the show? Director Carlos Saldanha, who kept jumping and dancing and taking pictures with a professional camera and Jemaine Clement, who plays the evil cockatoo in the animation and even sings the villain’s theme. The New Zealander, who was nicknamed "Castaway" by photographers because his long hairdo, stayed until the end. He loved the drums of Salgueiro samba school.
