O cantador

This is an album recently released by Yuko Ito. The label is Funny Baby Face Record. Recorded in March and released Sept 2014. Yuko Ito of Japanese background sings with an ensemble of musicians, most of them Brazilians lead by Cidinho Teixeira well known experienced musician and band leader.

Given the opportunity to listen to this CD you will immerse yourself in the beautiful Brazilians rhythms that now days are so popular, and the beautiful voice of Yuko just blends in a natural way with these Brazilian rhythms. Her command of the beautiful language of love is impeccable.

Music is an art that reflects emotions. Emotions can be planned and prepared but when destiny plays a role, the emotions can't be faked. With destiny deciding that Yuko's and Cidinho's mother would pass around the time was coincidental but increased the deliverance and rendition of these beautiful melodies . The richness and fullness of these melodies can only be created by a true Brazilian ensemble. Yuko's voice is sensuous, lively and emotionally charged. Cidinho's ensemble of musicians are accomplished virtuosos. The Album including the two Japanese melodies fit all into one word that inspired them. That is: Love!
