CPM 22 and Digão revive national rock classics at a packed festival in Manaus

The Volume Máximo Manaus festival brought together a crowd of fans from different generations last Friday (6), in the parking lot of Amazonas Shopping, in the capital of Amazonas. With sold out tickets and a nostalgic atmosphere, the event celebrated national rock classics and surprised the organization by the public.

The program featured performances by Banda Bates, Digão, Raimundos, accompanied by Bárbara Wild, and CPM 22, which celebrated 30 years of career.

According to producer Kellen Ketle, the audience exceeded all of the organization's expectations. "Man, for me it's surreal. It met all my expectations, I wasn't expecting this audience. It was incredible, it's been incredible!", celebrated the producer amidst the audience's euphoria.

CPM 22 celebrates connection with fans from Manaus

The lead singer of CPM 22, Badauí, highlighted the band's relationship with the Manaus public, who have followed the group since their first performances in the city, in the early 2000s.

The singer also highlighted the renewal of fans throughout his three-decade career and the connection with the public during the commemorative tour.

"Since the first show we did here it's always been like this. At the Tennis Club, way back in 2001, man, we've always had packed shows and it's crazy. Because every tour we've done this, and then we hit 30 years, man, you see that there's been a renewal of the public, the older people keep coming and then the younger people too", highlighted Badauí.

Badauí also commented on changes in the music industry and the way bands communicate directly with fans, mainly over the internet.

"The band speaks directly to its audience, we have our own communication channels, so... I think that today this communication is direct, not only Brazilian bands, foreign bands also have this communication over the internet, and no longer on television programs", he said.

Digão highlights the energy of the Amazon public

Closing the night, Digão took the stage to play Brazilian rock classics. The musician praised the energy of the Manaus fans and highlighted the dedication of the public during the performances.

"Manaus is amazing, the crowd is very rock and roll here.

The artist also spoke about the experience of playing as a duo and keeping the essence of his early career alive.

"That's a really cool thing, because I kept a flame there from the beginning... And today the band, we never rehearsed together and we played and we went from strength to strength. We trusted in the years of rock and roll that we have", he stated.
