vinipereira 3,239 Posted April 26, 2018 Author #1411 Share Posted April 26, 2018 After the end of the Dinner portion of the evening, the guests are now invited to take a seat at the Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro where we will have some musical acts performing to end the night in great style. Stage for many classical and otherwise musicians, tonight it couldn't be different. Doing most of the music this evening, the Orquestra Ouro Preto comes from the Minas Gerais city that hosted some of our guests this year. Even though was only founded in the year 2000, the Orchestra is considered to be one of the most prestigious music ensemble of the nation, being nominated for a Latin Grammy for their album in 2007. Starting the Music portion of the Gala, a beautiful rendition of the traditional christian hymn "Amazing Grace" - with artistic direction of conductor Rodrigo Toffolo. mrv86 and OlympicIRL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinipereira 3,239 Posted April 26, 2018 Author #1412 Share Posted April 26, 2018 That was beautiful, but perhaps a little bit sad? Making things fun, the Orchestra will now perform the famous Beatles song "With a little Help From My Friends". The idea of the mixing classical with pop-rock music was a huge success for the Orchestra, peforming in many cities of Brazil and abroad. On a personal note, this song is a tribute to all the friends who helped us get here - and by that, we mean all of you that made the Totallympics Contests what they are today. mrv86 and OlympicIRL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinipereira 3,239 Posted April 26, 2018 Author #1414 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Since the first edition of the Totallympics International Song Contest, the Festival of Music has often showcased the music from nations which are not with us in the contest - and this year wasn't different. Voters presented us a total of 23 songs that represent the rhythms and sounds of countries from 5 continents. This edition, we asked Totallympics to choose the songs that would have the opportunity of being performed at our Gala. Now it's time to reveal the most voted ones!

vinipereira 3,239 Posted April 26, 2018 Author #1419 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Last year, a song choice made a whole lot of difference for Brazil at the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2017. With "Hear Me Now", by DJ Alok, Bruno Martini feat. the singer Zeeba, Brazil achieved its best result ever with 142 pts. The runner-up position at the contest made possible for Brazil to host the annual contest this year. The talented trio is back this evening for an acoustic performance of the hit song.
