It was in a mythical bar in Alfama, which caught Madonna’s attention, that shortly after hearing him play, was invited to accompany her in the 2018 Met Gala performance. Also in 2018, he received an invitation from Toquinho to be one of the special guests on the tour commemorating the 50th anniversary of his career as a legend of Brazilian popular music.
