Rogê
Rogê - Grand Performances (COLA Fellowship), June 26, 2026. As part of his City of Los Angeles COLA Artist Fellowship, Rogê presents a special one-night performance at Grand Performances in Downtown Los Angeles on June 26. For this occasion, Rogê will debut Sebastiões, an unreleased project featuring original compositions performed live for the first time. The work brings to life a series of characters inspired by Rio de Janeiro, told through diverse perspectives that reflect the city’s spirit, contradictions, and humanity. A tribute to his hometown - officially named São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro - Sebastiões offers an intimate and powerful new chapter in Rogê’s storytelling, blending his signature rhythms with vivid, character-driven narratives.
