VINICIUS CANTUÁRIA

Vinicius Cantuária was born in 1951 in Manaus in Amazonia, Brazil, and lived there until the age of seven when his family moved to Rio.  He sings, writes, plays guitar and percussion and brings together many aspects of Brazilian music into his art.  And although his music is well-known for its pure Twenties sensibility, the best way of describing Cantuária’s group would be “post-electronic acoustic” - a quintet made up of jazz bassist Pau Socolow, Michael Leohnart (the young trumpet player from Steely Dan) and the Brazilian percussionists Nanny Assis and Mauro Refosco.  Their repertoire contains a few songs by Jobim and Gilberto Gil, who is one of Cantuária’s major influences.

Cymbals

Listen to ‘Cymbals’ and you’ll hear variety of atmosphere and sound: chords in a Latin ‘Galope’, which evokes the Cubanos Postizos as much as what he used to listen to as a child, brought by Peruvians and Colombians to the city in which he was born, Manaus, in the heart of Amazonia; in ‘Prantos’, he adopts the voice of an old singer of serenades, although the musical development dilutes the ‘kitsch’ into something more contemporary; the nod to Paris, while he walks along thinking of moves played by the footballers of Botafogo, arrives with ‘Champ de Mars’.
