Catia Werneck Quintet

Born into a family of musicians, Catia Werneck learnt to play the piano and Brazilian percussion at a very early age, but as a pure carioca, she naturally turned to bossa nova, where she excels on vocals... 

She has been living in France since the age of 38, where she has had many musical experiences (Touré Kunda, Patrick Bruel, Chico Buarque) and recording projects. Meeting pianist Vincent Bidal in 2010 has enabled her to forge a true musical identity that avoids the caricature of the 'Greats' in her compositions. This new album is yet another illustration of this, with its clearly jazzy tracks expressing all the warmth and infectious joy of Brazilian music, while remaining original thanks to the subtlety and finesse of the writing and performance by Catia Werneck and her combo.
