The closing of Clube Nextel, one of the coolest summer projects in Rio, on Monday, could not have been more fun! Glamurama arrived early in Londra, at Fasano hotel, in Ipanema, where the event took place, and things were still warming up, but we could already see some familiar faces, such as singers Ana Carolina, Paulinho Moska and Rita Ribeiro, and actresses Maria Paula and Milena Toscano.
* It was after 10 pm, and Londra was very crowded when the music stopped and the president of Nextel, Sergio Chaia, took the stage to tell everybody some exciting first-hand news. Guess what? Maria Gadu is the next star of the brand. "Instead of her talking about herself, we asked some important people in Gadu’s story to talk about her," he said. Among those who gave testimony about the singer is one of her musical godfathers, Milton Nascimento, who sings "Maria, Maria" in the ad. Cool!
* Then it was the turn of the Santa Clara boys to shake things up with their delicious mix of funk, samba, MPB, and even a bit of rock. With so many great people there, of course some people took the stage for some cameos, including Ana Carolina, Gadu herself, Sandra de Sá and Dani Black – son of Tete Espindola and part of the new generation of musicians.
* It was a lively exciting evening, along with an even more exciting crowd, which included Fiorella Mattheis and Flávio Canto, Alexandre Accioly, Marcella Fogaça and Arthur Fernandes, João Paulo Ganon, Paulo Borges, Zé Pedro and Ingrid Guimarães, just to name a few. We can’t wait for more!
