Roberto Carlos Live in Concert
Brazilian pop-rock trailblazer Roberto Carlos is known to many as "the King of Latin Music." With a career spanning more than half a century, Carlos has sold more than 140 million albums globally and is considered one of the most influential pop artists in Brazil and the world. With the help of co-writer and frequent collaborator Erasmo Carlos, Roberto Carlos has written more than three dozen Top 10-charting singles.
Born to a lower middle-class family in 1941, Carlos began playing the guitar and piano as a child. At just 9 years old, he performed for the first time at a children's show broadcast by Rádio Cachoeiro, where he won first prize and became a regular performer.
As a teenager, Carlos moved to Rio de Janeiro and formed a band originally called the Snacks, which was later renamed the Sputniks. In the late '50s, Carlos went solo and performed bossa nova in the style of Brazilian singer João Gilberto. When his first full-length album, 1961's Louco Por Você (Crazy for You), failed to achieve commercial success, Carlos switched back to rock music.
As a pop/rock musician, Carlos drew influence from then-popular American and British acts such as Little Richard, Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles. He eventually became the face of "Jovem Guarda" (Young Guard), which started as a TV show hosted by Carlos but eventually became a catchphrase for a Brazilian musical movement influenced by the Western midcentury rock and roll wave. Carlos' 1964 album, É Proibido Fumar, especially exemplified this upbeat sound and style, also known in Brazil as iê-iê-iê ("yeah-yeah-yeah").
In the late '60s, Carlos began to pivot his artistry to specialize more in love songs. Along with close collaborator Erasmo Carlos, Roberto Carlos penned now-famous hits such as "Detalhes," "Sua Estupidez," "Jesus Cristo," and "Debaixo dos Caracóis dos Seus Cabelos," earning him Grammy accolades and top chart placements in Latin America. Carlos' love songs became especially popular in neighboring Argentina, and by the '70s, he had become the best-selling Brazilian musician in history.
In 1988, Carlos won a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance, plus several Latin Grammys in the early 2000s. In 2015, the Latin Recording Academy honored him with the prestigious Person of the Year award. In 2009, Carlos celebrated his 50th anniversary as a performer, touring through North and South America to honor the achievement alongside fans. More recently, Carlos released his 2018 Spanish-language album Amor Sin Límite, which featured duets with Jennifer Lopez ("Llegaste") and Alejandro Sanz ("Esa Mujer").
First time at McAllen Performing Arts and it did not disappoint. The winds, the backup singers, and Roberto Carlos were spot on, down to his flirtatious comments and getting the audience involved. It could use some work on the lighting—instead of shooting into the audience, maybe revert it so there’s no blinding moments
It was a wonderful experience The seats were very comfortable
Show started right on time (awesome) Robert Carlos was amazing! First time going to his concert and was just epic. Had a most beautiful night.
Loved all of his songs, and how he is 81 yrs old and still sings as if he were 20!!!
Roberto Carlos' show was amazing! It is a class act with great musicians and an iconic voice at it's focus. The light show choreography was elegant and never over bearing. The show was music centered without a distracting light show nor unnecessary fillers. The band never missed a beat and was reminiscent of the crooner era effortlessly performing and switching between big band, swing styles to his iconic romantic ballads. 10/10

Everything was wonderful! I love all the songs he had sang
I paid $275 for seats in the bottom row. And I ended up being seated on the second floor in the far back against the wall. The light was too bright on the singer and you could barely see him.
The Roberto Carlos May 8 concert in NYC, was truly spectacular. The talent of this classic artist is beyond description. He struck our most sensitive chords with his simple yet deep lyrics alternating between Spanish and his native Portuguese. His sense of humor and witty are intact through the years. The excellence of his musicians make the stage sound like a recording studio.
Concert was amazing. He sang all his greatest hits.
Roberto Carlos still espectacular despite the years.
From the courtesy at the door, plenty of beverage areas and cushioned seats, oh did I mention the show was top notch as well. He was great!
Excellent experience! The concert was beautiful. Radio City is wonderful. All staff courteous and helpful!
My wife is the big fan, and it was Mother’s Day. With that being said for someone who has been on this tour for awhile his voice was very clear and he sounded great. He really worked the crowd and his band was tight. He is without doubt a master showman.
Very good , I like very much and pass a good time!!!!!!
This place is so beautiful and comfortable. I love the concert
