"Saudades do Brasil" offers a journey through the soul of Brazil guided by five exceptional musicians, coming from very distinct regions of this continent: Virginia Cambuci, singer, originally from Tocantins, in the north of Brazil, Ney Veras, drummer and mandolinist from Bahia, Jean-Baptiste Baudin, French virtuoso accordionist, Ricardo Feijao, bassist from Rio de Janeiro and Luiz de Aquino, guitarist, singer and composer from Sao Paulo, one of the great specialists of Bossa Nova, who also directs the quintet.

Declining during their program the recent album Tantas historias pra contar by Virginia Cambuci, they make us appreciate the rich sonic and rhythmic palette of Brazil by taking us in turn from Bossa Nova in Rio to the Choro in Sao Paulo, from the Afoxe from Bahia to Maracatu de Pernambuco, from Baião da Paraiba to Carimbo from Amazonia and, of course, without forgetting the ubiquitous Samba.

An original way to taste the Brazilian joie de vivre tinged with the sweet melancholy of saudade and, in the dark context the world is going through, to deliver a message of hope and optimism.
