His new album “Origem” is a tribute to the music of João Gilberto that passed away last summer of 2019. With a Brazilian rosewood “Jacarandá Bahia” guitar, a voice and two sensitive microphones, he seeks to connect with the intimacy and detail of the origins of bossa nova. With this he also connects with his own personal origin and seeks to move an authentic step forward from the bossa nova tradition.
