Brazilian music legends Ney Matogrosso, 83, and Zeca Pagodinho, 66, spent Friday together at Pagodinho’s rural estate in Xerém, Baixada Fluminense. Images and video posted online show Matogrosso riding on the back of Pagodinho’s quadricycle as the pair toured the property, generating wide interest among fans of Música Popular Brasileira. The informal visit comes shortly after samba school Imperatriz Leopoldinense confirmed it will dedicate its 2026 Rio de Janeiro Carnival parade to Matogrosso’s career. Pagodinho received a similar tribute from Grande Rio in 2023. Neither artist announced new projects during the meeting, but the good-natured encounter underscored their enduring popularity and the close ties within Brazil’s music community.
