Infância

The Nomad (Cassio Vianna)

From the album Infância by the Cassio Vianna Jazz Orchestra (2017).

From the album's liner notes: "My passion for music started early, around the age of nine. As a teenager, I listened to all kinds of music on the radio: Brazilian popular music, jazz, pop, etc. One of the greatest musical influences in my life was the Brazilian composer Ivan Lins, whose songs have always deeply touched my heart. I dedicate this piece to him."

Infancia

Infância - II. Distant Dreams

"A Oração de Jonas" comes from a musical I wrote in 2000, commissioned by the First Baptist Church in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The musical "O Sinal" is based on prophet Jonah's story. This song is "The Jonah's Prayer".
