Description
Welcome to the freewheeling Brazilian Lounge groove where beautiful acoustic bossa nova meets electronic ingenuity, and where Brazilian roots music is transformed in the club scenes of the USA and Europe.
Born in the northern Brazilian state of Acre, João Donato started as an accordionist before developing his outstanding keyboard skills. Over the years he has collaborated with stars such as Tom Jobim, João Gilberto, Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, and this album features two very different recordings with Joyce and Marcelo D2. His calm, almost transcendental 'E Vamos Lá', features the beautiful voice of Joyce, who is one of Brazil's most internationally acclaimed artists. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1948, she has recorded over twenty albums and was one of the first MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) female songwriters. Axial formed after an inspirational ten years of research into Brazilian, Haitian and African musical forms. Their music fuses electronic, acoustic and world music with technology and can be further explored on the bonus CD.
