Bossa Negra is a musical concept created by producers Howard Lee and Sérgio Luiz Brandão with the aim of making Brazilian music accessible outside of Brazil without compromising the integrity of the music.
The result of this pioneering collaboration has resulted in the first ever studio recording of well known Brazilian songs rearranged, reinterpreted and sung with Chinese and English lyrics.
In addition to the project’s lyrical reinterpretation of well known Brazilian songs, the producers have also created the first ever fusion of Chinese, Australian and Brazilian music into one album. By taking popular songs from China and Australia, Bossa Negra has pioneered a new direction in world music by recording these songs with a Brazilian arrangement and incorporating instruments from each of these countries.
Giants of the Brazilian music industry were recruited to write the arrangements for this album including Renato Fonseca (who toured with Djavan on keyboards), Luiz Brasil (whose arrangements have appeared on the albums of Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil & Gal Costa), Marco Brito (Ivan Lins’ current pianist) and Sérgio Luiz Brandão.
The album was recorded in Rio de Janeiro Brazil in 2009 and consisted the crème de la crème of Brazilian musicians including the following Grammy winners:
Armando Marçal - multiple recipient of numerous Grammys for his role as the percussionist of Pat Metheny’s band during the 1990’s
Renato Fonseca - “Best Brazilian Song” received in 2000 for his role as the keyboardist and programmer on Djavan Ao Vivo album.
Marco Brito - “ALBUM OF THE YEAR” & “Best MPB album” as the pianist for the album Cantando Histórias with Ivan Lins received in 2005.
Other musicians include Cassio Cunha (Alceu Valena), Carlos Balá (Djavan), João Viana (Djavan’s son), Cesinha (Caetano Veloso), Pantico Rocha (Lenine) on drums, Luiz Brasil (Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa), João Castilho (Djavan, Simone) on guitars, Jesse Sadoc, Marcelo Martins, Aiduas Ayres (Joao Bosco) on horns, Marco Lobo on percussion, William Barton on didgeridoo, Aria nominee Jacqueline Gawler and “asian new talent” recipient Joanna Dong on the vocals.
Special guests include Samba legend Tia Surica of Portela Samba School, Paulinho da Viola’s daughter Eliane Faria, Brazilian rock legend Evandro Mesquita plus Grammy recipient and Brazilian pop sensation Jorge Vercilo.
With the support of the Brazilian consulate of Shanghai, Bossa Negra made its international debut in the final week at the Shanghai World Expo 2010 with a series of performances at the Americas and the Greenland stage. By performing the material in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, the group was able to bridge the language barrier and expose Brazilian music to a mainstream Chinese audience for the first time. With this pioneering debut at the biggest world expo in history, the band was received with both critical and popular acclaim from the Chinese media as well as the tens of thousands who attended these performances.
Bossa Negra will release the world’s first bossa nova sung in Chinese in the summer of 2011.
