Djavan

I am a 'gringo' who was introduced to Djavan's music about 8 years ago. I am familiar with most of his work and I do speak some Portuguese. The show was about a 50/50 mix of jazz-style charts from Aria and classic hits. Without repeating with others have said - I will say that the musicians playing with him were incredible and Club Nokia is a very nice / intmate venue. Sound quality was fantastic as was the lighting (see photos). I hope to have the opportunity to see Djavan perform with a full band. My wife - who does not understand any Portuguese also really enjoyed the show.

The best concert ever! Djavan is very kind and sweet.

Great concert, the place was nice and clean, sound was great !!! Excellent view !!

The Brazilian composer was able to deliver his new music as well as some classics from 80's and 90's. Absolutely amazing!!

Very cool. really sick! Lots of energy! great arrangements! great atmosphere! great venue!

the concert was amazing, good vibe everybody happy and dancing...I dislike the videos and flashes from the cameras

The only reason this show was not given 5 stars is that some fans were expecting Djavan to bring more of his ensemble. His new album is full of covers in a subtle, more jazz-quartet style. Therefore, he brought the other 3 musicians who participated in the production of this album. The songs were great, and Djavan's genius was evident. Although the new band did not consist of the brass section we're used to hearing, they were very creative with how they chose to play some of Djavan's hits. Overall it was a great concert, I just wish the drummer had brought a full set!

Djavan has the most beautiful voice in the World. IT WAS GREAT SHOW !!!

Was amazing I love it. As I dreamed since childhood to go to his show, his presence on stage is wonderful and also the consideration to sing the old songs mixed with songs of the new album..I loved... I'm going to California to see him again...

Oh my God.... I just loved the concert!!! I'm brazilian and I recommend to everybody his music!!! It's magic!!! Show de bola!!!

Djavan is my favorite artist, the artist and music was very good. The only reason that I am rating it 4 our of 5 stars is because 1) the show didn't start on time and 2) there wasn't a keyboard player and horn players, which I feel limited his repetoire.

The place is very nice and I could see Djavan very close. The concert was amazing.. I really enjoyed..

Djavan had the whole audience dancing and singing along. It was also fascinating to see the audience age ranging from twenty year olds through seventy year olds. The sound quality was poor. The speakers were buzzing with each kick of the bass drum and slap of the upright bass. It was an acoustic band/instrumentation, so that should not have been happening.

I just love this artist. The show Tuesday night was wonderful. It was intimate, inspiring and fun! Djavan never disappoints and this was a great night of music. He was here two years ago at this venue, but this show was so much better!

i loved the moment his is a very good singer and i had a good time

Here's an awesome singer/songwritter that reflect the good music Brazil has to offer. A classic!

He is a classic and fantastic performer. His voice and guitar playing is as good live as it is on his studio albums. Fantastic Brazilian artist!

With a beautiful old theater like the Warfield, and the sweet presence of the generous-hearted Djavan, it is especially regrettable to walk away from this event with the prevailing memory of a cynical, profit-obsessed management whose crowd control methods would compete well with those of an airport under a full security alert, except the personnel at an airport would be friendlier. The privilege should be for the theater in having the opportunity to host such an international star as Djavan and to welcome his fans; instead we were the ones that were made to feel that we were somehow privileged, this after paying a handsome price for chairs that looked as if they were borrowed from the local school gymnasium, a miniature bottle of water for $3.50, a beaker of beer for $7.50 and an hour and a half wait for the concert to begin, with attendants clueless as to the reason why. What a cynical set-up! But somehow the serenity and spirit of Djavan's music rose above it all. Shame on his hosts.

I didn't know what to expect, because a friend suggested the show. I needed uplifting, and Djavan provided just what the doctor ordered. Beautiful voice, excellent song choices and top-notch musicianship. If you get a chance to see him before he returns to Brasil, leap at the opportunity!

Absolutely wonderful....sound at venue could have been better but overall simply wonderful. That is who this man is!

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT !!!! I CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN!!! HE WAS DRESSED REALLY NICE!

Absolutely incredible, from start to finish. Never have I seen any musician shake as many hands .

Mr. Djavan is an amazing artist. With the perfect atmosphere of the Nokia club, this became one of the most unforgettable nights ever of smooth, lovely original compositions and covers performed by Djavan.

Djavan is a living legend. He apeared from the darkness looking handsome as ever wearing a perfectly tailored suit and delivered a perfectly tailored concert.

Djavan demonstrated once again his masterful compositions and his deep, strong vocal range. Old favorites or new material, he never fails to please.

I bought the tickets because my husband loves Brazilian music amoung his many tastes. Djavan was an unknown artist to us. We were very pleasantly surprised and are now fans! His variety in music style plus his voice made the evening one to remember! Beautiful, joyous and fun! Everyone was dancing in the end!

He has unbelievable talent and stage presence. Music is his life and he shares that with all of us. Such a modest performer...no drama ..just pure musical talent and charisma. We all felt the emotion and power of each song. We all wished we could just be with him to feel his joy, pain, longings and thoughts. Would go see him again and again if he were available. Please try to book more events with Djavan...he is inspiring.

it was great !!! I can't wait for him to came back so I can go to another concert!!!

The concert was awesome, the staff very friendly but The Sound was a big let down! You could heard something wrong w Djavan's guitar all the time and the speaker WENT OFF at a certain point... Seriously!

What a great show!! Djavan is absolutely amazing!! My only comment to Club Nokia is not to expect Brazilians to watch a show seating down. It's just impossible!

Djavan was an amazing entertainer. I never thought I would have the opportunity to see him live, but was thrilled that he was playing at the Warfiled.

Djavan is SOMETHING! His voice is so beatiful and his musics are really great. We enjoyed the songs a lot. He even tried an american song, and it was just amazing.

I loved this concert! He has an excellent voice and I am glad that the other instruments didn't overpowered it. The concert started on time. I was seated at the balcony and had a perfect view of the stage.

can't wait for him to came back so I can go to the next concert.

It was a wonderful concert!!!!!!! I loved it!!!!!!

Djavan is a legend!! It was my wife's Birthday present and she loved it!! Thank you!!

It was a great concert. Djavan is charismatic, friendly, poet....what a beautiful voice.

The Best show ever Djavan is unique with his poetic lirics who bring us to paradise.Love it !

The Warfield was the perfect setting for Djavan. His performance in SF was unforgettable.

This concert was definitely targeted towards Brazilians and not like the others that targeted towards the American clientele by speaking solely in English and singing in Portuguese. I am Brazilian and so as 80-90% of the attendees and it was amazing!

The show was marvelous, nice music, nice band, I love it.

I recommend...it was great,unforgettable!!! He is a lovely singer...

One of the finest Brazilian Musicians around. What a fabulous show!

I love Djavan and his music. But the producers/venue did little to insure that the audience was allowed to actually HEAR the artist. I know that cultural practices vary but when the audience joins in and sings with the artitst to the extent that he is drowned out, we move beyond different cultural expressions and into a scenaro where I and others paid a lot of money to hear a sing-along by a rude audience. People yelled out throughout the concert, they stood up and blocked the view of those of us who were seated. Although perhaps the majority of the audience were Brazilian, a significant number was not. Djavan spoke in Portuguese to the audience between numbers and none of his comments were translated. The producer should have had a translator share his words with the rest of the English soeaking audience. Several people got up and walked out after the fourth or fifth time they were left out of the proceedings. The request to not photograph or tape was widely ignored resulting in audience members standing up frequently to photograph Djavan over and over again--with flash! If they weren't already standing they held their cell phones or camera up in the air, again blocking the view of those behind them.

Djavan was and still is one of the best Brazilian singers ever! I could not believe how wonderful he is still sounds. It was a great show. Please continues bringing those wonderful Brazilian singers. We do have many in Brazil!
