Joyce is also at her full creative potential, working with musicians she respects and admires, and in most cases with whom she has strong personal relationships. The album features the same horn and rhythm section used on her album Hard Bossa, and background vocals are provided by Joyce's daughter, Ana. Another special guest on the album is the electric lady 'Elza Soares' the goddess of Samba - one of Joyce's own early heroines and inspirations. The enjoyment the musicians had is apparent in the final product, and as Joyce says: ' I love this album so much ...It's maybe one of my favourites ever, along with Feminina , and Astronauta'' The theme of the album is based around Gafieira -- Brazilian ballroom/dancehall music, mostly jazz and samba played with lots of horns .The title track Pege leve 'Gafiera Moderna' is a modern take on an old song, which detailed the etiquette of Gafiera. For her modern gafieira Joyce incorporates all the traditional elements, whilst referencing modern club culture in the lyrics. The album contains a mix of styles, and the lyrics cover gossipy girl talk, to advice on broken relationships and rejoicing in the everyday, humanity, and the creative process. The legendary Elza Soares's crazy swing graces Samba de Silvia an earthy and intoxicating samba, Joyce conjures Bahia on Azul Bahia, and speaks of Brazil's African heritage on the powerful afrosamba 'Forcas de Alma' The album is a celebratory homage to her heroes, mentors and friends who have been amongst the greatest of Brazilian musicians. The CD comes with an exclusive documentary, shot on location in Brazil, which gives an intimate glimpse of the studio recording and captures the heady atmosphere of Rio in the days before carnival when the album was produced http://www.faroutrecordings.com http://twitter.com/faroutrecs http://www.facebook.com/faroutrecs http://plus.google.com/10536108404957... http://soundcloud.com/faroutrecs
