‘Sonho’ Out 5/26
‘Sonho’ features covers of classic world jazz songs by Rosa Passos, Joyce Moreno, Henri Salvador, as well as a bolero by legendary Cuban composer Frank Dominguez, a nod to Silvia’s Latin American (Mexican) heritage. Produced by Brazilian music force Fabiana Cozza and acclaimed bassist and creative musician Fi Maróstica, the EP was recorded at the prestigious Estúdio Arsis in São Paulo, Brazil. Rounding out the musical performance are two young stars of the vibrant São Paulo jazz scene, Nichollas Maia on piano and Matheus Marinho on drums.
