A homecoming for the London-\u003cbr\u003ebased artist, Moyses’ debut reconnects him with his North-Eastern\u003cbr\u003eroots while assembling an international cast of collaborators\u003cbr\u003eincluding legendary Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai, US trumpet\u003cbr\u003esensation Theo Croker and London-based vocal star Lynda Dawn.\u003cbr\u003eAfter relocating from Brazil to London in the early 2000s, Moyses\u003cbr\u003equickly became one of the capitals’ most in-demand players,\u003cbr\u003esharing stages, studios, and writing credits with best-selling artists\u003cbr\u003eincluding Nile Rodgers, Janelle Monáe, Emile Sandé, Gregory Porter\u003cbr\u003eand Omar.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2022, Moyses toured with Brazilian jazz-funk legends Azymuth,\u003cbr\u003ecompleting the rhythm section alongside Brazilian drumming master\u003cbr\u003eIvan “Mamão” Conti. “It felt like he was my wise Brazilian grandfather\u003cbr\u003efigure.” Moyses recalls. “When you spend so many years working\u003cbr\u003einternationally, you unconsciously start to leave certain parts of\u003cbr\u003eyourself behind. Mamão encouraged me to reconnect with Brazilian\u003cbr\u003emusic, and that’s where this record really began.”\u003cbr\u003eBrazil’s North-east, where African, indigenous and European\u003cbr\u003etraditions collided and fused most intensely, produced a musical\u003cbr\u003eheritage unlike anything else on earth, Moyses dos Santos is a\u003cbr\u003eproduct of this syncretism. On Maria, named after his mother,\u003cbr\u003eMoyses brings the musical vocabularies of his youth to the fore.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the soul of the church band where he began to learn his trade\u003cbr\u003eas a musician, to the rolling batucadas – maractus, baiaos, sambas\u003cbr\u003eand frevos – which he played throughout his teenage years.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the lineage of North American electric bass giants like\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Duke, Jaco Pastorius, and Stanley Clarke, Moyses runs\u003cbr\u003eBrazilian musical traditions through jazz, funk, soul and disco:\u003cbr\u003ehis sound charged with the cosmopolitan energy of London’s\u003cbr\u003econtemporary jazz scene.\u003cbr\u003eLead single and album opener “Boa Viagem’ is joyous, carnivalesque\u003cbr\u003edancefloor jazz: a timeless groove for the nightclub and street party\u003cbr\u003ealike. Calling directly to a higher power “Brazilian Spirit” is an astral-\u003cbr\u003ejazz phenomenon, featuring the transcendent trumpet playing of\u003cbr\u003eGrammy nominated Theo Croker. On “Saudade” Moyses calls upon\u003cbr\u003eiconic Brazilian maestro Arthur Verocai, whose signature string\u003cbr\u003earrangements cascade around the divine vocals of ascendant\u003cbr\u003eLondon artist Lynda Dawn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MOYSES DOS SANTOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53124638933286,"sku":"FARO260LP","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7734\/2621\/files\/MoysesDosSantos-Maria-LP-FARO260LP-5065026483027-FL.jpg?v=1777470622","url":"https:\/\/www.limitedadditionrecords.com\/en-us\/products\/maria-vinyl-lp","provider":"Limited Addition Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
