Info for Mar Afora
“Mar Afora” … although the "sea so far away" lies between them, the jazz singer Maria João is deeply connected at a musical level to the guitarist Guinga. The Portuguese vocalist has always been attracted to Brazilian music, and the guitarist has a preference for melancholic tunes that remind one of the Portuguese fado. But what really makes them into a fascinating duo, is the congenially swinging rhythms.
These two artists present Guinga’s fourteen compositions poetically and with virtusosic skill in almost chamber music-like manner. His work reveals a modern side of Brazilian music: traditional elements pass through Guinga’s sophisticated harmonies and are transformed into an exciting new musical language.
