Singer Masha Campagne’s Alegre Menina is a radiant celebration of Brazilian songcraft, seamlessly weaving together lush harmonies and rhythmic contemporary jazz sensibility. Campagne brings together an impressive ensemble, including guitarist Lula Galvão, pianist Frank Martin, drummer Rafael Barata, bassist Scott Thompson, and guitarist Ricardo Peixoto, whose collective instrumental interplay provides a rich tapestry for her warm, expressive vocals. The set includes tunes penned by Dori Caymmi Jorge Amado, Caetano Veloso, Joao Bosco and Campagne’s originals, which all evoke the joy and color of Rio’s streets. The album is a luminous, heartfelt homage that beautifully expresses a love for Brazilian musical culture.
