Highlights of the show:

The newest album released by Vinicious Cantuária together with Bill Frisell was aired for the first time tonight in Latin Soul. The delicate and acoustic sound of the song ´Lágrimas de amor´has truly been a perfect moment to start the Brazilian set tonight.



“Lágrimas mexicanas” (Mexican teardrops) released by eOne Music in 2011 is presenting the latest work of this ocassional duet between Vinicious Cantuária and Bill Frisell. Vinicious Cantuária is a Brazilian artist who has been a reference in song writing and Brazilian jazz since 80´s-90-s, marking another generation of Brazilian artist other than the Tropicalia movement, or the bossa nova composers. Becoming a resident of New York around 2000´s has given him a more international perspective in his music, and this album proofs it. Bill Frisell, on his side, is also a prestigious and remarkable figure in the American guitar jazz scene since 80´s. He is a composer, interpreter, and embraces different music proposals not only jazz. The outcome of their collaboration is the beautifull “Lágrimas mexicanas”, which title is already showing all the influences and verges to which they are looking at. A general melancholic and accoustic tone covers the album from beginning to end. This is no album to cheer your party with Latin tunes. It´s introverted music where guitars and soft voices are present. The songs are in Spanish for the most part, and Portuguese. Quiet musical gems to enjoy and feel what makes you appreciate things in life.
