O músico Rodrigo Zanc será a atração principal do projeto ‘Café Com Viola’, que será encerrado na manhã deste domingo, na unidade do Sesc local. A apresentação está marcada para às 10h30.
Zanc apresentará canções do disco “Pendenga”. Trata-se de um trabalho autoral e independente de música regional de viola, em que o músico conta com a participação do letrista Isaías Andrade e dos amigos Fernando Mori e Murilo Romano.
O artista considera esse CD como o ‘primeiro fruto dos quase 13 anos de influências e pesquisas sobre a viola e seu vasto universo. Um misto de todas as saudades a que o sertão remete, com seu luar, estrelas, primaveras, caboclas, caboclos, fantasmas, lendas e tradições’. O ‘Café com Viola’ é um projeto de música de raiz. - Marcelo Ono

As raízes de Rodrigo Zanc
“Começou a minha sina, não termina um só momento;
A viola é quem me toca, sou eu o seu instrumento.
Os meus dedos ela usa, pra construir a canção;
E retira o sentimento que tenho no coração.”
(Viola Enfeitiçada / Isaias Andrade e Rodrigo Zanc)
O Teatro do SESC apresentou na noite de quinta e de sexta o show “Viola, Raízes & Frutos” com Rodrigo Zanc. O violeiro e compositor araraquarense apresentou um repertório
caprichado que envolveu a plateia do início ao fim.Composições conhecidas e de
talentos como Renato Teixeira foram cantadas e tocadas por Rodrigo que enriqueceu o
show com composições do seu último CD Pendenga.
A viola caipira brilhou como uma verdadeira estrela nos braços do “menino” que já nasceu com talento e amor às origens e tradições da vida da roça e do campo. Bonito, sensível, carismático, e de uma simplicidade ímpar Rodrigo aproxima e envolve as pessoas
de uma maneira doce e singela. As apresentações também foram enriquecidas pela presença
de Luis Contiero, Joice Pirola e dos músicos: Murilo Romano (violão e vocal), Cesar Bottinha (violão e vocal) e Fábio Russi (contrabaixo) que dividiram o palco brilhantemente
com o anfitrião. - Maribel Santos

At the age of seventeen, he decided dedicate himself to the countrified guitar (Brasilian viola).
From now on there had been many influences…
Listening to interpretations of artists as Rolando Boldrin and Renato Teixeira really touched him. The countrified music with the vanguard guitar of Almir Sater, Paulo Freire, Robert Correia and others, touched his soul. Singing and playing, by the time, he developed his own style.

PENDENGA SPECTACLE
The musical spectacle called Pendenga, based on the homonym CD of the composer, guitar player and interpreter Rodrigo Zanc, places the Countrified Guitar as an instrument that evolves - and not only as representative of an era or specific niche - following the influences chronological order of the artist since the moment he knew the guitar.
The presentation interlaces Pendenga CD repertoire with songs of composers and famous interpreters of regional music, bringing in its bulge information of the past acting harmoniously in the present, serving as a messenger of two worlds, the agricultural and the urban one, lulling us with news of both sides.
The present days bring a common feeling to those who identify themselves with the guitar music: the heart bipartition. The country side man can already be in the second or third generation city dwellers, however, remains very uncomfortable in this big desert of steel and concrete, keeping the restrained desire of fondling the drizzle in moon nights in the sylvan retreats.
The spectacle has as proposal of contributing to revive values that make possible the recognition and the identification of the deep roots of the agricultural environment. Reaching the people who every day wake up with the clear impression that the country side represents the happiness, while the city, the stress.
Being agricultural and being urban. Taking a walk calmly on the dividing line of this misfortune…

It is an authentic work that values and rescues all the feelings, influences and impressions of a generation that transited between the country side and the city, the agricultural and the urban one.
