Listen on Spotify - Por causa de você

Antonio Carlos Jobim’s music has always revealed the beauty and contradictions of Brazilian culture. Is there a more poignant phrase than the first line that Maucha sings on “A Felicidade” – “Tristeza não tem fim, felicidade sim” (Sadness has no end, but happiness does)? . The richness and complexity of Jobim’s creativity is on full display in this live set from Jovino Santos Neto and his quintet, with special guests Romero Lubambo of Trio da Paz and vocalist Maucha Adnet (who spent 10 years as a member of Jobim’s Banda Nova). Jobim’s beautiful harmonies often present a challenging vehicle for improvisation, but you would never know it from the freedom these musicians demonstrate here. Just listen to the deep samba groove and virtuosic solos on “One Note Samba” or to Maucha’s profoundly emotional delivery on “Por Causa de Você” – the musicians hold nothing back.

"Mr. Santos Neto revels in the poetry of emotion of these Jobim compositions, both familiar and rarer gems, which he has expertly re-imagined in an inimitable and spirited manner." - Raul da Gama - Latin Jazz Network

"Santos Neto is like a beacon of Brazilian culture illuminating the world from his remote outpost in Seattle. His piano playing is stunning, while also offering a lively melodica solo on " Wave." His energy, dedication to his culture, and creative genius while performing is like an oasis of positivity and celebration of life." - Paul Rauch -
