A reimagining of 'Samba Esquema Novo', the seminal 1963 debut album release by Jorge Ben, is Clara Moreno's spectacular tribute to her heritage, both musically and personally. This fresh take on the album that opened up new avenues for samba and bossa is Clara's third album release for Far Out Recordings, following the critically acclaimed Meu Samba Torto and Miss Balanco. Jorge Ben's Samba Esquema Novo introduced an innovative approach to Samba which foreshadowed the coming years of Brazilian music, from bossa to tropicalia. Having lived and breathed the music of her native Rio De Janeiro since birth, the souls of the great samba, bossa-nova, MPB and Tropicalia titans resonate in Clara Moreno's voice today. Clara's parents Joyce Moreno and Nelson Angelo are two of those titans, whose own careers have had a colossal influence on the shape and sound of Brazilian music since the 1960s. No stranger to the spotlight herself, Clara's career began at a very early age, performing in children's choirs for the likes of Milton Nascimento, Egberto Gismonti, Originais do Samba and Trem da Alegria amongst others, the Rio singing sensation has since performed and recorded with the likes of Jo?o Donato, Roberto Menescal, Danilo Caymmi, Antonio Adolfo and of course her mother Joyce. With Clara Moreno's 'Novo' version of Samba Esquema Novo, she delivers her own audacious charm over the subtle contemporary twist on Ben's classic original, which plays out in the flawless arrangements and production work of Paulo Malheiros, Lu?s Paulo Serafim and Juliana Melo, some of Sao Paulo's brightest young musical minds. A gleaming rework of the anthemic Brazilian summer samba 'Mas Que Nada' opens the album with lush warm textures and a witty dub-echo on Clara's sultry voice, atop masterful samba jazz playing from the rest of the band. With 'Balanca Pema' we have moody n' groovy bossa-jazz amped up with a mischievous trombone and fiendish pattering percussion, creating a sassier and punchier contrast to Ben's light, airy original.
