Description
Joyce and Tutty Moreno, the legendary vocalist/guitarist and drummer who helped define the sound of Brazilian popular music, have partnered with Adrian Younge to create JID027. The result is an album that captures the ethereal beauty of collective improvisation, the weight of saudade, and the unbreakable bond between two of Brazil's most revered musicians. The album is a delicate balance of premeditation and improvisation. Joyce's compositions-"Mandala;' "Uaná Eté:' "Is This Love?;' "Fingers:' and "Janeiro"-sit alongside instrumental pieces by Younge, where Joyce's voice becomes a horn, a flute, a river of melody without words. The album closes with "Cfrculo Vicioso;' a recitation of the iconic poem by Machado de Assis, Brazil's greatest writer. Joyce's spoken word, delivered in her native Portuguese, transforms the track into a meditation on life, death, and the cyclical nature of art.
