RIO DE JANEIRO – Pop idol Madonna gave it all in Rio de Janeiro as she looked back on her four-decade career in a historic show before throngs of joyful fans jammed onto Brazil ’s famed Copacabana beach on May 4.

“Rio, here we are in the most beautiful place in the world,” she said at the start of a performance that brought the giddy Brazilian audience to its feet. Madonna was joined on stage during the performance of her hit Vogue by Brazilian singer Anitta, who is known for taking Carioca funk – the soundtrack of Rio’s favelas – to the rest of the world.

“I’m a mess, I haven’t slept well, I’ve been listening to Madonna all week,” 29-year-old sociologist Ina Odara told AFP. Tattooed on her shoulder was Madonna’s phrase: “All that you ever learned, try to forget.”After 80 performances across Europe and North America, the Rio concert provided a crowning touch to a tour that took on sudden urgency when the singer suffered a life-threatening bacterial infection in June 2023.Her shows, with their spectacular productions, set a high bar.
