Karrin Allyson’s A Kiss for Brazil is a lush, evocative journey into the rich rhythms and melodies of Brazilian music, delivered with Allyson’s signature vocal grace and impeccable artistry. Her voice glides effortlessly over the bossa nova and samba grooves, capturing the essence of Jobim classics with her own unique flair. Allyson is joined by a stellar ensemble featuring Yotam Silberstein on guitar, Vitor Concalves on piano, Rhodes and accordion, Harvie S on bass, and Rafael Barata on drums, each contributing to the album’s warm, authentic sound. Brazillian singer and guitarist Rosa Passos joins in a couple of tracks to great effect. With its seamless blend of Portuguese lyrics and jazz sensibility, this recording stands as a stunningly beautiful homage to a timeless musical tradition.
