"Vitto Meirelles - Ritual Carioca (10/24/2000)"O Amor tem que tocar e o corpo transcenderá"Brazilians continue to celebrate their country. Vitto is a young Carioca (an inhabitant and native of Rio) with a gift for music, although in Brazil, of course, there is no shortage of that. It is like saying "a gifted dancer" in Africa: people already have such a high level of ability that without that little bit extra, it is virtually impossible to be considered an artist. Brazil can now add to its long list of great artists, singers, poets, guitarists and composers Vitto, a figure who seems to bring together all these talents. Paris was the meeting place with Yvonne Desportes, a former Premier Grand Prix of Rome at the celebrated "Villa Médicis". This woman ranks as one of our greatest teachers, and was herself a pupil of prestigious masters, including Paul Dukas and Maurice Emmanuel. She also knew Ravel as well as many other musical giants. She saw some three thousand pupils in her career and none has been the source of as much artistic inspiration as Vitto. After two years, as though detached from the world, studying harmony continuously with this grande dame, Vitto began to write his own works and record them. It was in doing so that he came across another elderly lady, Andrée Peyrissaguet, now over one hundred years old. She lent him the keys to a small church in the Creuse region of France, and using the building's exceptional acoustics, he recorded a series of solo guitar songs which were to become the outline of his first album. If you're Carioca, you live in the historic part of Rio. In this bay different types of music have sprung up which have already gone several times round the world, for this capital city has given birth to more than one prodigy. Vitto the bossa-singer and samba-singer of Rio is one of her children. While he recognises the different schools, of Mangueira or Jobim, Vitto has also taken on the mantle of today and incorporates the sounds of the big city, of the world around him, without giving in to the easy charms of mechanical music - yet never forgetting to let us dream.Personnel includes: Vitto Meirelles (vocals, guitar); Salif Keita, Amadou Bagayoko (vocals); Jacques Morelenbaum (violin); Mauro Senise (flute, soprano saxophone); Sandro Guimaraes (soprano & alto saxophones); Widor Santiago (baritone saxophone); Paulinho Trompete (trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone); Vittor Santos (trombone); Arthur Maia, Nico Assuncao (bass); Ivan "Mamao" Conti (drums); Robertinho Silva (darabuka, djembe, pandeiro, bells); Thiago Silva (darabuka, cajon, pandeiro); Wanderlei Silva (bongos, congas, pandeiro, surdo, timbales); Armando Marcal (congas, percussion); Marcos Suzano (pandeiro); Mangueira Samba School (percussion). Engineers: Vitor Farias, Theo Mares, Jorge Guerreiro. Recorded at Nas Nuvens Studios, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil between February and March 2000. Includes liner notes by Jackie Berroyer. O disco do Vitto é incrivel, realmente uma obra prima só comparável à classicos como Caetano, Gil, Chico Cesar ou Djavan, o melhor CD que eu já ouvi na vida e posso garantir: vc vai concordar comigo logo da primeira vez que ouvir a voz e o suingue de Vitto.
