Léo Santana Postpones Free Salvador Concert Recording to Sunday After Severe Storms

The change follows safety guidance from public agencies during heavy rain in the Comércio waterfront.

Overview

  • The audiovisual project DNA de Gigante is rescheduled for Sunday, 23 November, at 15:00 in Praça Maria Felipa, confirmed by Salvador Produções and the artist.
  • A recommendation from the Corpo de Bombeiros, alongside the Prefeitura de Salvador, prompted the postponement after roughly four hours of delay as thousands waited in the rain.
  • Climatempo cited coastal rainfall above 100 mm with gusts up to 60 km/h, creating hazards for crews, equipment and the public at the open-air site.
  • A large operations plan included roadblocks, police screening at entry points and temporary bus detours such as line 1568’s reroute, measures expected to inform logistics for Sunday.
  • Santana plans a solo recording without guest appearances to mark 20 years of career, a celebration originally set for Black Consciousness Day, while peers like Ivete Sangalo and Thiaguinho offered support after the delay.
