Back in 2023, Rio-born composer Fabiano do Nascimento teamed up with Leaving Records for a one-night-only concert in his adopted hometown of LA. That show has been turned into a recording, Solstice Concert, which is set to be released by the label on February 7. On the project’s first track, “Feijoada,” the composer and his band cook up a smoldering and groovy version of the track led by Sam Gendel’s otherworldly horn performance and bubbling electronic percussion from Tamir Barzilay. Not to be outdone, Nascimento cruises on his seven-string guitar and Gabe Noel holds the entire show down with a rhythmically inclined bass line.
The song was originally performed by Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo, and was featured on their 1984 album Lagoa da Canoa Município de Arapiraca. Check out do Nascimento and his own grupo’s performance of the song below, and pre-order Solstice Concert here.
