The Festival de Jazz de San Javier marks the 50 anniversary of the bossa nova with two of its main protagonists, Toquinho and Maria Creuza, which together with Vinicius de Moraes, recorded in La Fusa, one of the most representative and most beautiful albums of the bossa nova.
Together on stage, after many years, the guitarist and singer Sao Paulo, Bahia, evoke the great titles of a genre that about Brazilian music to jazz, recalling the great poet and musician Vinicius de Moraes.
The great poet and composer in Brazil, Vinicius de Moraes Maria Creuza gathered for whose velvety voice had a penchant, and Toquinho, with whom he had earlier agreed on a disc recorded in Italy, for a series of concerts at the club La Fusa, Buenos Aire.
Thus arose the celebrated album, which forty years later is still a bestseller, and composed such classics as "Eu sei that vou love you", "Minha Namorado" or "Garota de Ipanema."
This album along with another also recorded at La Fusa Maria Bethania, were decisive when it releases the bossa nova to the world.
Creuza Mary thus became a reference for the new Brazilian singers and a benchmark of what was the bossa nova movement, which stripped the Brazilian popular music sounds and rhythms of their holidays, tending gradually, a bridge of union with American music of the moment, especially jazz.
The beautiful voice and warm Creuza Mary, in full maturity of interpretation, has performed the greatest Brazilian authors from Vinicius, to Djavan, Edu Lobo, and Antonio Carlos Jobim, author of the famous "abusou Voce, one of the most successful the singer.
Nearly forty years after La Fusa, and after a series of concerts together in 1980, Toquinho and Maria Creuza back onto a stage, absent, always present, Vinicius, for an evocative journey through the sonic geography of Brazil , which will not miss the great hymn of the bossa nova "Chega de saudade", among many others.
This journey through the classics of bossa nova, you are assured of their cicerones, as well as Toquinho Creuza are themselves two classics of Brazilian music.
