Description
Beautifully understated and utterly infectious collaboration between two of Brazilian music's greatest stars. A magical recording encompassing a world of music but rooted in Brazil.
Joyce combines her wonderfully expressive swoop and soaring vocal with special guest bossa legend Joao Donato's peerless pulsating piano and warmly-crafted rhythms. Injecting pure-quality jazz into bossa nova, old-school Brazilian samba and laid back Cuban vibes, 'Aquarius' is intricate yet endlessly listenable.
Featuring true classics alongside stunning new compositions this gorgeous recording is testament to Joyce's standing as Brazil's greatest female singer-songwriter & celebrated international artist.
Both Joyce and Donato have included new versions of perhaps their most famous tracks - 'Feminina' and 'Amazonas' respectively - while new tracks including the jumping 'No Fundo Do Mar' and addictive 'Xangô É De Baê' are true standouts. This is modern Joyce at her most captivating in wonderful solo and memorable duet with Donato's golden vocal.
