Description
A globe-spanning reimagining of bossa nova from legendary Brazilian
composer Roberto Menescal and Muca Rooted in rhythmic subtlety and melodic intimacy, Beleza draws on MPB, soul, and folk to create what Muca describes as "a global choir built on a bossa nova foundation", honouring the tradition while reaching toward something genuinely new.
Highlights include a track featuring vocalist Sofia Grant, whose folk- jazz sensibility
moves lightly across the keys before giving way to stirring strings. The lyrics were
written by acclaimed British poet and songwriter L.A. Salami, bringing his signature
literary depth to one of the album's most poignant moments.
In keeping with bossa nova's literal meaning, "new wave", Menescal set out to find
fresh voices and ideas. The result is an album that bridges Brazilian culture past and
present, as alive with discovery as the movement that inspired it.
