Brazil’s lyrical soul

Mônica Salmaso from São Paulo is hailed by critics as one of the greatest voices in contemporary Brazilian music. During the pandemic, she gave her homeland hope with a special project: she undertook no fewer than 175 virtual visits into the homes of befriended musicians – split screen, joint music-making. Salmaso was predestined for this form of intimate performance, she is the born chamber musician. Her singing is gentle, shimmering and soulful. Salmaso can listen with her voice.

Her project »Alma Lírica Brasileira« is a sensitive journey through her vast homeland and her rich treasury of songs, Salmaso explores the »lyrical soul of Brazil«. She is accompanied by Nelson Ayres on piano and Teco Cardoso on various wind instruments. The programme features pieces by Villa-Lobos, Brazilian waltzes from the early 20th century, old sambas and lyrical songs by Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes.
