The original ælostÆ Brazilian acid-folk album recorded in Paris in 1976 and now
rescued and set free after 33 years--Visions of Dawn is the stunning, previously
unreleased project by three Brazilian music legends.
Led by the sharp lyrics and gorgeous, expressive voice and guitar of Joyce the
trio is completed by the expert musicianship of her close friends Nana
Vasconcelos (percussion) and Mauricio Maestro (electric bass, vocals, guitar and
producer) who were both crucial in creating this masterpiece.
Mauricio, Joyce and Nana became close friends playing together as part of Milton
NascimentoÆs Clube De Esquina scene in Rio and his legendary Clube De Edquina
series of albums. These beautiful, hazy and understated recordings, which took
place in charming 1970s Paris, offer a unique chance to sit in on the original
jamming sessions of tracks that later became Brazilian cult classics.
A founding member of Boca Livre Mauricio produced Visions of Dawn and his
electric bass, vocals and floating acoustic guitar lines are crucial to the
sessions. Nana Vasconcelos has released more than thirty albums over an
incredible forty year career and here displays his unsurpassed Latin jazz
percussion skills. JoyceÆs tender psychedelic vocals result in a dreamy set
thatÆs given a strong edge when scatting and letting her notes playfully jump.
Stand outs "Banana" and "Clareana" later became big Brazilian hits for Joyce.
The Paris 1976 project is a legendary lost treasure encapsulating the special
freedom and beauty of Joyce, Nana and MauricioÆs music.
