Mario Bakuna and Edmundo Carneiro

Mario Bakuna, Brazilian musician, arranger and composer and Edmundo Carneiro a renowned Brazilian percussionist have just recorded their new album – “Where Rio de Janeiro meets Bahia”. It is a journey to Rio de Janeiro, the birthplace of Bossa Nova, and Bahia, the city that best represents the powerful African influence in Brazilian music.

The album recorded in Paris brings, in the core of its research, the Afro-Brazilian rhythms from ‘Recôncavo baiano’ as well as the charm and subtlety of bossa nova. The album is a journey through the landscapes of Dori Caymmi, the finesse of Tom Jobim, and the poetry of Caetano Veloso. In the show ‘Where Rio de Janeiro meets Bahia’, Mario and Edmundo promise to transport the audience to a place where the real and the imaginary are experienced and enhanced by poetry and music.
