Francesca Leone & Guido Di Leone - Historia do samba (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

A formidable couple! Guido Di Leone and Francesca Leone represent one of the most successful and significant artistic partnerships not only in Italy in the field of Brazilian music, bossa nova. With the previous album (CORAÇÃO VAGABUNDO), also by Abeat, they had great success with the public and critics. This new release has all the ingredients to repeat this excellent result. They know how to interpret Brazilian materials and moods, with total and perfect respect for the idiom and with incomparable taste. In Historia do samba pieces that belong to the highest sphere of composers and authors such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gilberto Gil, Carlos Lyra, Roberto Menescal are revisited. Songs from the jazz tradition and more are also proposed: from “Come tu mi vuoi” (by Nino Rota from the “Dolce Vita”) to “Cerasella” and “Accarezzame” (sung in Neapolitan), even “la Vien en rose” by Edith Piaf and others. To support them in this new venture a string quartet that gives lightness to a record that sounds elegant and refined from the first to the last note. A small masterpiece, also splendid for the refined sound and also suitable for audiophile palates.
