entre la bossanova , folk y samba de los 60 y 70, añadiendo elementos de jazz global y electrónica

The debut album from one of Brazil's most exciting young solo-artists. A beautiful bossa inflected record that showcases Vilar's classic songwriting flourish and modern spark. A special talent. The latest addition to Far Out’s growing stable of new Brazilian talents Rafael Vilar fits in perfectly with bossa-influenced close friends Sabrina Malheiros and Clara Moreno. On ‘Studies in Bossa’ Vilar moves between Portuguese and English vocals through tracks that evoke the great bossa nova, folk and samba of 60’s and 70’s Brazil whilst incorporating global jazz and electronica. With this recording Vilar is unveiled to an international audience. Until now undiscovered, the quality and beauty of these recordings is undoubted: a rare nu-bossa star has arrived."
