Vila

On 'Vila', guitarist Fabiano do Nascimento's virtuosic blend of finger-picked melody and percussive strumming engages in a constant, warm dialogue with the lush arrangements of Vittor Santos's sixteen-piece orchestra. The album is inspired by the tranquil, neo-colonial Rio de Janeiro courtyard where Nascimento spent his childhood, and its delicate compositions evoke a tender and nostalgic atmosphere that bridges folk intimacy with a cinematic, symphonic jazz sweep. Recorded between Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro, the work stands as a refined and ambitious collaboration, showcasing Nascimento's intricate guitar artistry at the center of Santos's grand, enveloping orchestrations.
