Released: Pilar
de La Hoz ‘Jazz Con Sabor Peruano’
TUMI 155
Pilar
de la Hoz puts paid to the idea that Latin Americans - outside Brazil -
don’t sing jazz! She melds an Afro-Peruvian, Afro-American sensibility
and clear international vision with the Brazilian bossa-nova jazz
styles that captured her imagination when Dora, her pianist mother,
played them to her as a child.
A member of cutting edge group Bossa 9 since she was sixteen, Pilar de
La Hoz belongs to the intimate yet vital Lima jazz scene. Tune in
Sundays to Telestero 88.3FM at 6pm and you will hear Pilar de la Hoz
host her weekly programme Ilha Brazil dedicated to Brazilian popular
music, broadcast live from Cocodrilo verde (www.telestereo.com). All
with sabor Peruana of course! -Jan Fairley More...

of the greatest Brazilian Samba Canção singers ever, and
certainly the one with the longest most fruitful career. 'Samba
Canção' are the sung sambas which map the life of people
in the samba schools of Rio de Janeiro.

"Listening
to the bitter-sweet lyrics of new Cuban singer YUSA and the simple
sophistication of her music one knows one is finally hearing 21st
century Cuba. Her cutting-edge songs map the contemporary emotional
lives of urban Havana. Fused inside her music are traces from further
afield, from iconclastic jazz and rock to today's Brazil. Full of the
vital energy of experimentation and the textures of musical exchange
gained in intimate venues, Yusa offers a whole new way of hearing
Cuba." (Jan Fairley)
