In Tribute to João Gilberto Antonio presents some of the main songs that became known worldwide through the voice of the brilliant Bahian artist, such as Wave, Insensatez, Garota de Ipanema, Caminhos Cruzados and Retrato em Branco e Preto, among others.

In addition to Bossa Nova being one of his most important artistic influences, Antonio also has other emotional motivations for putting on a show dedicated to the memory of João Gilberto.
