The arrangement for "Santa Bamba" was inspired in "Morna", a typical Cape Town rythm.

Santa Bamba (Kiko Dinucci e Fabiano Ramos Torres)

Fabiana Cozza has one of the most stunning voices to emerge from Brazil in recent years, and is considered by her countrymen to be one of the nation's leading interpreters of Afro-Brazilian music. Her repertoire reflects knowledge of the many cultures of Brazil, as well as love for the many ways music was born from the African diaspora. Many of her songs are written by young Brazilian composers who share her interest in the relationship of Brazilian music to other cultures of the New World. Her instinct for good writing, brought to life with her extraordinary voice, results in music that is sensuous, evocative, and powerful. Her newest DVD-CD, Canto Sagrado, celebrates the work of Clara Nunes, one of the greatest figures in Brazilian music.

“She can also be most beguiling, and more than apt to weave a magical spell rooted in the Afro nature of her being as she is to charm in a European sense of bewitching an audience. Either way, she is one of the most attractive and riveting singers to come out of Brazil ..."
