Bossa Nova Noites to Release New Project “Bossa Nova Noites I: Bahia Nights”
In 2012, celebrated producer Robert Hébert reached out to Brazilian music legend Ivan Lins to join his ambitious project, blending Brazilian and American music traditions. Lins’ response was visionary: “TOTAL MUSIC,” an invitation to transcend genre boundaries and create a unique musical experience. The “Bossa Nova Noites I: Bahia Nights” album is a realization of that vision, a sophisticated exploration of Black Music from Africa, Brazil, the U.S., and Europe, blending Samba, Chicago Blues, Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Pop, and Soul into a tapestry of rich sound.
After years in the making, this highly anticipated album features iconic artists, including Najee, Brazilian rising stars Monique Elen and Mari Bodas, and co-producer Curtis King Jr. Hébert and his collaborators have carefully arranged a selection of recordings into an album that pays homage to musical legends while introducing fresh, inventive interpretations.
