Vinicius Cantuaria
Released:
Sep 2007
Label:
Koch Records
Vinicius Cantuaria may be the most talented and innovative of a group of young Brazilians who are once again experimenting with bossa nova. A songwriter, vocalist and singularly expressive guitarist, he avoids nostalgia and uses the sun-flecked 1960s Rio sound for his own personal explorations. The fact that Cantuaria works at levels that match those of his collaborators (which include the pianist Brad Mehldau, guitarist Marc Ribot and cellist Erik Friedlander) should clue you in to his abilities. The original tunes can actually stand next to the expressive reading of Jobim's "Vivo Sonhando."
