"Sometimes I feel like a kid in front of a piece of paper"

Ficções Completas (Complete Fictions) is launched

Editora Grafatório launches Ficções Completas (Complete Fictions), which compiles all of Arnaldo Dias Baptista's fictional writings. There are three texts: “O Abrigo” (The Shelter), a tale with metaphysical twists that narrates the escape from a Planet Earth rendered uninhabitable; “The Moonshiners”, a short story originally written in English, portraying the meeting between two humans and two aliens who form a kind of interplanetary flower power commune; and “Rebelde Entre os Rebeldes” (Rebel Among Rebels), a novel with epic contours, contemplating colonies and space battles, and which more clearly develops Arnaldo's philosophical, mystical, ethical and aesthetic concerns. Of the three texts, only Rebelde Entre os Rebeldes had previously been published. However, the present version is radically different, without major editorial interference, preserving the unique characteristics present in Arnaldo's original manuscripts. The edition also features texts written by journalist, biographer and cultural critic Jotabê Medeiros, and researchers André Araújo and Fernando Silva e Silva. The book is launched at an event at Galeria Vermelho, in São Paulo, on December 6th.

Arnaldo illustrates and signs presentation of The Wizard of Oz

Arnaldo is invited by Antofágica Publishers to illustrate their edition of The Wizard of Oz, by Lyman Frank Baum. In addition to the edition's illustrations, Arnaldo also wrote his presentation. The new edition of The Wizard of Oz was translated by Davi Boaventura and afterwords by the writer and researcher Carol Chiovatto and the writer, illustrator and screenwriter Janaina Tokitaka. Arnaldo’s book presentation can be read in this article by Jotabê Medeiros. https://farofafa.com.br/2023/05/17/entre-fadas-e-travesseiros-travessos/

ARNEWS: FIRST SOLO ALBUM LOKI? NOW IN VYNIL 180.

The classic 1974 album Loki ?, Arnado's first solo album, won the 180gms vinyl version by Polysom, with unpublished insert with lyrics and remastered by Ricardo Garcia, Magic Master. The text for this launching was signed by renowed music journalist Jotabê Medeiros, who commented, among other pearls: "Arnaldo's album dropped to Earth as an aesthetic and individual vision, which led him to be compared to Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett. There was no equivalent among his contemporaries, as until today there is none. Its original fuel was a loving disappointment, as in 90% of pop music, but the result is a universal enlightment".

ARNEWS RATIFIES: ARNALDO DIAS BAPTISTA CELEBRATES SUCCESS AND ACHIEVEMENT WITH TWO SHOWS AT SESC POMPÉIA - SP.

On tour with the show "Sarau o Benedito?" Arnaldo Baptista has been displaying an aura of warmth and affection towards the public and critics as he takes his art to many events and stages around the country.
He closes the year in style with two apotheotic shows at one of the most important cultural spaces in São Paulo: SESC Pompéia on the 15th and 16th of December. It was in this neighborhood that Arnaldo spent his childhood, adolescence and founded Os Mutantes. "I'll play at home," he says.
Celso Masson, São Paulo's Época Director, lucidly defines the show: "Arnaldo plays piano in ecstasy, blending Chopin with Oscar Peterson or emulates Thelonious Monk playing with John Lennon. He plays Dave Brubeck in his broken 9/8 compass as a conservatory's Honky Tonky."
