Off to the Shows

I'm off to a Chico Buarque concert tonight. I was a little offended when the tickets went on sale a few months back, as they cost the equivalent of 1/2 of a montly minimum wage and were what I thought, rather pricey for Recife and clearly out of reach for most. After twirling with my conscience, I decided to go for it anyway since I would likely never again have the chance to see this quintessential Brazilian musician live. Turns out that more of Recife has R$160 to spend on a concert than I thought: two extra shows were added, making a total of five that Chico will play here this week.
