Clara Moreno's new release features a stellar line-up of Brazilian musicians, including Clara's mother, the legendary Brazilian singer and songwriter Joyce, and the celebrated songwriter and guitarist Celso Fonseca.
Meu Samba Torto features two new compositions written especially for Clara by her peers. Joyce contributes "Sabe Quem?", and Celso Fonseca has penned "Litorânea." There are also interpretations of classic bossa nova tracks such as "Moca Flor," originally recorded by the Tamba Trio, "Vem Morena Vem," from Jorge Benâ's debut album, and "Morena Boca de Ouro," made famous by João Gilberto. Surprises are delivered in a version of "Mon Manege a Moi," originally recorded by the French singer Edith Piaf, and a beautiful cover of the American jazz standard "Tenderly."
