Dora Morelenbaum - Vento de Beraida

Singer-songwriter Dora Morelenbaum is one of the stunning voices at the
forefront of Brazil's exciting new musical wave
Her sublime 'Vento De Beirada' EP takes you on a trip into the sensuous sounds
of Dora's world. On frst hearing her music, we were reminded of the
transformational moment when we frst discovered the Brazilian singersongwriter, Joyce. The music is completely new to you, yet instantly familiar, like
rediscovering a past love.
Dora is a member of the Brazilian Latin-Grammy-winning superstar quartet Bala
Desejo; a trailblazing light opening up Brazilian music to a whole new audience
outside of the country. 'Vento De Beirada' EP showcases a different sound to the
riotous, joyful, avant-garde Tropicalia sound of Bala Desejo. This solo set takes a
more dream-like, downbeat, MPB stance. It is frmly contemporary, yet you can
also trace the lines of infuence back to idols such as Gal Costa and Maria
Bethania.
The EP is comprised of four tracks that have already garnered critical acclaim
following their digital release. It starts with the tender and gentle 'Japao', which
was inspired by the melodies of the legendary Japanese composer, Ryuichi
Sakamoto. Sakamoto once collaborated with Dora's musician parents, Paula and
Jaques Morelenbaum, when she was young. 'Do a Do' is drenched in lush,
sweeping strings that were arranged by her father himself, and is co-written by
Dora and Tom Veloso of the band, Donica. There's further collaboration on the EP,
including production from one of the lynchpins and stars of the current Rio scene,
Ana Frango Eletrico. Fellow Bala Desejo band member, Lucas Nunes, contributes
towards the production, writing, and guitar with Guilherme Lirio also on
production, guitar, and bass. Whilst Bala Desejo's Ze Ibarra penned the song
'Vento De Beirada' with Lucasand Victor Vasconcellos.
The four- track EP has been cut to 12" and mastered for vinyl by Joker (Liam
McLean). With crystalline beauty and a breezy sense of ease and serenity,
sounding classic yet contemporary. This release serves as the perfect
introduction to an extraordinary talent.
The sublime solo EP from a member of the Latin-Grammy award winning
superstar quartet, Bala Desejo.
Taking us on a sensuous ride into the world of one Brazil's most exciting new
voices.
For fans of Gal Costa, Joyce, Maria Bethania
