MC Rebecca celebrates her debut at Rock in Rio 2024, and talks about challenges: "Huge responsibility"

Renowned sports narrator Galvão Bueno is about to end his long career on TV Globo. The contract, which runs until the end of this year, will officially end in 2025, according to information from F5 columnist Gabriel Vaquer. The decision would have come from both Bueno and the broadcaster, indicating the end of one of the most iconic partnerships in Brazilian television.

Despite the imminent end of the relationship, Galvão still has commitments to fulfill with TV Globo. According to Vaquer, three projects are scheduled until the end of the contract. Among them, a reality show stands out that will seek to reveal new talents in sports narration, as well as special pictures for the program Esporte Espetacular and an end-of-year special that will mark its farewell.

INVESTMENTS IN THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL

With the departure of the broadcaster, Galvão Bueno should focus on new projects outside of TV Globo, including the return of his channel on YouTube. The initiative, which was interrupted due to contractual obligations, should receive greater attention from the narrator after the end of his relationship with the broadcaster. Galvão continues to be one of the most influential voices in sport in Brazil, having narrated, in 2023, a Brazilian team game with great audience success – a fact that, according to the columnist, would have caused discomfort behind the scenes at Globo.

GLOBO'S POSITION ON GALVÃO'S DEPARTURE

In contact with Gabriel Vaquer, TV Globo preferred not to disclose details about the contract by Galvão Bueno, but confirmed the existence of ongoing projects. "Still for this year, there are programs planned with the participation of Galvão, which will still be announced", informed the broadcaster, without giving further details about the future of the partnership.

END OF AN ERA IN SPORTS NARRATION

The departure of Galvão Bueno marks the end of an era in sports narration in Brazil. After decades narrating historical events, such as World Cups and Olympics, Galvão established himself as one of the most iconic sports figures on TV. 

International star Ne-Yo, known for hits such as "Miss Independent" and "So Sick", prepared a surprise for his debut at Rock in Rio. During his first show at the festival, held this Sunday (22) at Palco World, the American singer invited São Paulo funk singer MC Daniel to make a special appearance. The show, which started at 7pm, marked a moment of rapprochement between international R&B and Brazilian funk.

INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION AT ROCK IN RIO

In an interview with the newspaper O Globo, Ne-Yo revealed that he met MC Daniel during his stay in Brazil and that the connection was immediate. "I met him here, we did a song together and he told me that he also performed at Rock in Rio. So, it made sense to bring him on stage", explained the American singer, shortly before the show.

< This collaboration, according to Ne-Yo, was an opportunity to explore Brazilian music, with which he has been in contact. "I don't know many Brazilian artists, but I'm familiar with the sound. I recently went to a place where they played funk and I really liked it," he added.

"On Saturday (21), we worked together on a track, still untitled, which will have lyrics in English and Portuguese", said the funk singer.
