Guinga + Joia Luz Live at JazzB, São Paulo

Featuring the music of Guinga
Duration: 3:18

To celebrate Brazilian Song, Guinga joins the young Italian interpreter Joia Luz and presents a selection of his compositions arranged for guitar and voice, recorded last year and released this July 2024 by the Kuarup label. Songs like “Fonte Abandonada,” “Noturna,” “Jogo de Damas,” among others. Guinga is one of the greatest Brazilian composers of today, with a career spanning decades of collaborations with big names in Brazilian music, such as Elis Regina, Chico Buarque, and Ivan Lins. His compositions, marked by melodic beauty, sophisticated harmonies, and poetic lyrics, are true gems of Brazilian popular music. Joia Luz, the stage name of Gioia Persichetti, is an Italian singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based in Brazil. With a sweet and expressive voice, Joia Luz interprets Guinga’s songs with sensitivity and emotion, creating an intimate and engaging atmosphere.

Milton Nascimento / Esperanza Spalding: Milton + esperanza

Read "Milton + esperanza" reviewed by Chris May


Sometimes the semiology around an album can tell you more about it than any amount of words attempting to describe the music itself. And the semiology around Milton + esperanza is eloquent. It begins with the overlap with another summer 2024 release, Wayne Shorter's magical double-album Celebration Volume 1 (Blue Note), a previously unreleased recording of ...

Huw Warren: Choro Choro Choro

Read "Choro Choro Choro" reviewed by Chris May


The Welsh pianist Huw Warren is not a household name--though he ought to be--so a little background to Choro Choro Choro is appropriate, just in case the album is taken to have effervesced out of nowhere. In the 1990s, Warren was co-leader of the singular London quartet Perfect Houseplants. The group's half-dozen albums ...

Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini: Guinga

Read "Guinga" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Brazilian guitarist-composer Guinga is something of a legendary figure. A polyglot performer associated with música popular brasileira's all-encompassing ethos, he's made his name fusing the contemporary and folkloric strains of his homeland with classical, jazz, rock and pop stylings. His influence looms large in that particular niche of the music world--and, honestly, beyond--and he receives his ...

L'autorevole inventiva di Salvatore Maiore

Read "L'autorevole inventiva di Salvatore Maiore" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Contrabbassista, violoncellista e compositore tra i più attivi in Italia, Salvatore Maiore ha evidenziato -nelle molte collaborazioni e nei progetti personali-una cifra espressiva particolarmente ricercata, dove il ruolo dei suoi strumenti assume un aspetto propositivo, in una chiara esaltazione delle forme melodiche e timbriche.
