Widely hailed as one of Brazil’s most important post-Jobim composers, Guinga has written songs recorded by definitive vocalists such as Elis Regina, Nelson Gonçalves, Miúcha, and Clara Nunes. Brazilian superstar Ivan Lins created the Velas label to record Guinga, which eventually allowed him to give up his dental practice and focus full time on music. He’s joined by guitar virtuoso Marcus Tardelli, a sensational young talent who Guinga says “is like Rubinstein at the piano. There are certain musicians who…have a relationship with the unfathomable.” The program is a co-presentation with California Brazil Camp.
