Playing With João Pinheiro – Show “Entre Nós”

We took part in João Pinheiro’s show this Saturday – an intimate and beautiful show called Entre Nós (Between Us). He is already featured in Candeeiro edition – that guy who recorded Sade’s songs with brazilian rythms. Two tracks from his album are featured as part of the soundtrack of “Caras e Bocas” soap opera in Globo TV, the biggest TV channel in Brazil.

Watch some of the videos here. I took part in many of them, mostly playing pandeiro:

Juízo Final, from the composer Nelson Cavaquinho, with the guest Manu Santos:

Os Presentes / Todo Mundo Sabe, with the special guest Eliana Printes. She’s the composer of this cheerful samba, together with her husband, the guitar player Adonay Pereira.

No Ordinary Love, from Sade.

Palavra, an interesting piece of song played with a typewritter as a percussion instrument. The song is followed by Olha a Baiana and Filó, in which I also took part. The three songs are João’s compositions.

The guitar player is André Agra, owner of Saladesom records, one of the local and most succeeded labels in Rio de Janeiro, who is also producing the first of Manu Santos albums, to be released by the end of the year.

Special thanks to our friends Marcos and Aninha, who recorded everything with an amazing video quality, and with whom we shared delicious slices of pizza right after this show.

0015 – Ingá – Tom Jobim, Cartola, Toninho Horta, Joyce, Chick Corea and Flora Purim

Cartola is a huge symbol of our samba. He’s considered by many critics as the best samba composer of the history.

Chick Corea is maybe the best jazz electric pianist. Do you know the difference between a keyboard and an electric piano? Most people here in Brazil don’t distinguish one from another. Everything is called “keyboard” here, because most keyboards can play electric piano samples. But there is a sensitive difference. Listen to these jazzy samba tracks I got here, with the amazing brazilian singer Flora Purim, from the 1973 album, Light As a Feather.

Joyce and Toninho Horta recorded an album with Jobim’s songs, called “Sem Você” (Without You). Joyce is a tradicional Bossa Nova singer, whereas Toninho Horta is a world class guitar player.
