Coelho L'alchimista

flavia coelho is continuing her exploration of identity and her quest for authenticity, tackling the themes of reconstruction, courage, and resilience, with her loyal producer and arranger, victor vagh-weinmann, whom she met in her early days in france.

Influenced by the music of her youth in the nineties (funk, soul, Latin), but also the harmonies of classical music, the Brazilian Flavia Coelho sets the stage for her fifth album 'Ginga' (Portuguese for dancing, swinging) and is inspired by organic sounds and old-school elements. Electro pads, organs, keyboards, guitars and percussion are mixed with compositions created in collaboration with producer and arranger Victor Vagh. Her unique voice characterizes the ten intense tracks, with a timbre full of sincerity and character.

Little known in the West and in the former USSR, the name of Weinberg, the third great Russian composer of the 20th century, after Prokofiev and Shostakovich, seems to be slowly emerging from the shadow of the latter, his protector and friend. Far from being an epigone, he is rather, by his temperament as a symphonist and the importance of his chamber music, the spiritual heir. This part of his vast catalogue, not written to put food on the table, includes 17 quartets, the most experimental body of his work along with his sonatas, those for cello, written with Rostropovich in mind, being henceforth consecrated.
