Bruno Berle – Sem Fronteiras [Far Out Recordings]
Singer/songwriter Bruno Berle is an ascending multi-instrumentalist from Maceió, Northeast Brazil. “Sem Fronteiras”, his third release showcases a collection of warm and harmonic compositions he’s co-produced with longtime musical partner Batata Boy. Berle’s subtle yet poignant guitar chords set the tone across ten compositions. “Voce Ja Sabe Que Eu Te Amo” is filled with sublime fender rhodes and lush orchestral textures. “Outra Noite” is a mellow instrumental that displays his rhythmic approach. The finale “Sem Fronteiras”, which means “Without borders” is a sixties-flavoured Brazilian folk gem. Berle is paving the way for a number of talented artists from Maceió like Nyron Higor and Phylipe Nunes Araujo. They’re delivering quality recordings and this is no exception.

Haroldo Bontempo – Ao Vivo em Quarteto [Cantores del Mundo]
“Ao Vivo em Quarteto” is a live recording from Haroldo Bontempo. The singer/guitarist’s album is steeped in Brazilian folk with traces of Bossa Nova and samba. This setting finds Bontempo as part of a quartet. “Ate’ Que Eu Gosto de Voce” is vintage soulful samba that features Vinicius Mendes on flute. “Na Casa do Jornalista” harkens back to 60s bossa nova. Bontempo is joined by bassist Carol Ramalho and drummer Be Moura. Mendes appears again on flute as well on sax. “Virgem” is another highlight that originally appeared on his first album and features Arthur Melo on bongos. The only regret is not being part of the audience to witness such a marvelous session.

Muca & Roberto Menescal – Beleza [The Secret Warehouse Of Sound]
“Beleza”, the latest release from multi-instrumentalist Muca is a musical journey back to his Brazilian roots. Muca has spent the last sixteen years residing in the UK. He decided that the timing was right to reconnect to his youth growing up in Sao Paulo. He’s joined on this journey by composer/guitarist Roberto Menescal. Menescal has been a pioneer of Brazilian Bossa Nova since the mid-sixties. He’s penned recordings like “O Barquinho”, “Voce” and many more. The twelve track LP features a different vocalist for each recording from around the globe. Six songs are sung in English while the other six in Portuguese. “Ladeira” is a soothing samba tune featuring Bahian vocalist Josyara. The aptly titled “Midnight Lullaby” is laced with lush arrangements and gentle guitar licks. The highlight is the soft and stylistic vocals of British Brazilian vocalist Liana Flores. The finale “Feeling When It Comes” is stripped down bossa nova featuring the earthy vocals of Heidi Vogel. Co-produced by Menescal, Muca has captured the essence of bossa nova. The superb lineup takes this record to greater heights. Press play and prepare to be swept away.

Sessa – Pequena Vertigem de Amor [Mexican Summer]
“Pequena Vertigem de Amor” is the third album from Sergio Sayeg, aka Sessa. Recorded on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, the album finds Sessa in a new chapter in his life. He recently became a father and suddenly he had a purpose greater than music.. Fatherhood played a role in his songwriting approach for this project. The music of Erasmo Carlo’s 1972 album “Sonhos e Memorias” also is a heavy influence as well. Evidence is found in “Bicho Lento”, filled with blissful flute arrangements courtesy of Alex Chumak (Soyuz). Sessa’s feathery vocals and gentle guitar are simply sublime. “Nome de Deus” is modal Jazz meets Samba. “Vale a Pena” is a melodic tune aided by warm female vocal harmonies. Sessa incorporates a Suette electric piano, an obscure Brazilian keyboard comparable to the fender rhodes. Cecilia Goes, Lau Ra, Ina & Paloma Mecozzi are the vocalists who are at Sessa’s side throughout the album. Sessa stretches the boundaries of traditional Brazilian music with inspiration from his soul music influences. Unlike “Grandeza” which is delightful in its own right, the inclusion of piano and synths here takes this record to another level.

If you like traditional bossa nova aligned with gorgeous vocals to match then this is the record for you.
