Following the digital release of the single \u201cMeu Canto\u201d in early February 2026, Gerardo Frisina and singer Luzia Dvorek return to Brazilian music with a new and compelling interpretation of a timeless classic, \u201cA Lenda do Abaet\u00e9\u201d by Dorival Caymmi; the release of this 45rpm single brings to a close a special project entirely dedicated to Bahia, the beating heart and symbol of Brazilian culture.<\/p>\n
\u201cMeu Canto\u201d takes shape from an original composition by Gerardo Frisina, who signs both music and production, crafting a soundscape that is suspended between delicacy and depth upon which Luzia Dvorek – joined by songwriter Toco, whose refined backing vocals further enrich the song\u2019s emotional dialogue – has drawn the melodic line and written the lyrics. A journey into roots and origins that tells the story of Luzia\u2019s family, deeply embedded in the warm, fertile land of northeastern Brazil. \u201cMeu Canto\u201d sees also the participation of Alfonso Deidda on flute, whose airy timbre introduces new shades of color to the composition.<\/p>\n
In \u201cA Lenda do Abaet\u00e9\u201d, the 45rpm B-side, Gerardo Frisina weaves an elegant and immersive rhythmic framework, evoking soundscapes that feel both deep-rooted and timeless. Within this setting, Luzia Dvorek\u2019s voice unfolds with emotional intensity, balancing expressive strength and subtle delicacy as it narrates the ancient legend of the Abaet\u00e9 lagoon. A place steeped in charm and mystery, suspended between myth and reality, whose stories have been passed down through generations in Salvador, in Brazil\u2019s north-eastern region. The project is further enriched by the acoustic guitar of Francesco Borrelli – who also took care of the tracks mixing and mastering – and Toco\u2019s distinctive vocal contributions, which add depth and nuance to the overall sound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
