Following a week of California Brazil Camp in Cazadero, several of the camp teachers descended on Yoshi’s last night for a single evening, with numerous camp students in the audience. On stage: Claudia Villela, Ricardo Peixoto, Harvey Wainapel, and Guinga. The repertoire: Guinga and Villela-Peixoto compositions. Ricardo shone on his various guitars; Guinga moved the audience with vocal renditions of “Chá de Panela” and “Senhorinha”; Claudia lent her vocal chops to fine versions of “Choro pro Zé,” “Par Constante,” “Pra Quem Quiser Me Visitar,” and, on the livelier side, “O Coco do Coco” and “Baião de Lacan.” Harvey was lovely as always.
Guinga, who signed up with a US representative, will be touring the States next spring, accompanied by Paulo Sérgio Santos, Lula Galvão, and Jorginho Trompete. Their Bay Area gig is scheduled for Yoshi’s in April.
Guinga and Fátima brought along his new disc with Gabriele Mirabassi, Graffiando Vento. The album is everything one would have wished it to be (watch for a review before too long). Guinga and the Italian clarinetist are set to record a second disc in the very near future. Also out is the An Evening With International Guitar Night CD, still unheard but seen in Brian Gore’s hands last night. Guinga plays “Choro Breve,” “Picotado,” and with Andrew York, “Senhorinha.”
Harvey Wainapel tells me that his beautiful CD with Paulo Bellinati, New Choros of Brazil (recently released on the German Acoustic Music label), will come out in November in an American edition. And Claudia announced that her improvised Dream Tales with pianist Kenny Werner (recorded in 1999) finally came out and is already esgotado (just for a while though).
