Raiz

Raiz marks fifty years of Joyce's imperative involvement in Brazil's rich musical heritage: paying tribute to some of the beautiful Brazilian standards she was listening to around the time she first stepped foot in a recording studio. Joyce's insurmountable talent and unfaltering grace shine as bright as ever on this landmark record. A fresh recording of some of the beautiful bossa nova and chic Brazilian jazz standards she was listening to and inspired by as an adolescent girl growing up in Rio. The album is a powerfully nostalgic master class in Joyce's inimitable style and her stunning vocals still hold the intimacy and raw talent of a teenage girl's first recording,I but with the prowess and nuance that come with an astounding five-decade career.
