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.
