ELIANE ELIAS’ MADE IN BRAZIL MARKS A MUSICAL HOMECOMING FOR MULTI-GRAMMY®-NOMINATED PIANIST/KEYBOARDIST/SINGER/COMPOSER/ARRA­NGER
Release features Take 6, guitarist/vocalist Roberto Menescal and vocalists Mark Kibble and Ed Motta, with seven orchestral arrangements by Rob Mathes recorded at Abbey Road Studios
Eliane Elias’ Made in Brazil marks a musical homecoming for the multi-GRAMMY®-nominated pianist/keyboardist/singer/composer. In her three-decade long career as a solo artist, Made in Brazil results from the first time she’s recorded a disc in her native Brazil since moving to the United States in 1981. (International release dates may vary)
Elias wears many hats on this project as producer, composer, lyricist, arranger, pianist and vocalist. “I am completely immersed and involved in every single detail of the music and the recording process, from the birth of an idea until its completion through every aspect of the production until it reaches the public,” she explains.
Along with co-producers, Steve Rodby and Marc Johnson, her bass playing musical partner, Elias ventured ‘home’ and recruited a splendid cast of Brazilian musicians that include electric bassist Marcelo Mariano; guitarists Marcus Teixeira and Roberto Menescal; drummers Edu Ribeiro and Rafael Barata; and percussionists Mauro Refosco and Marivaldo dos Santos.
Elias peppered the sessions with delightful special guest performances from Mark Kibble and the multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning gospel vocal group Take 6; her singer/songwriter-daughter Amanda Brecker; one of Brazil’s most celebrated R&B stars, Ed Motta; and the distinguished bossa nova composer Roberto Menescal.
Elias also invited Rob Mathes to handle orchestral arrangements on seven of the 12 tracks, which were recorded in London at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. “It’s so touching to hear the music unfold,” she says of the orchestral arrangements after they were overdubbed onto the São Paulo sessions. “You can see the musical notes on paper, but it’s something else to hear them realized and performed by members of the London Symphonic Orchestra.”

Yes, Eliane Elias is a great pianist, composer and arranger. She really touches a heart with her music that really creates great images and moods. This piece represents a new approach but she keeps her touch on all musical components.

Just discovered this song. Knew about her back in the 80s, but lost track over the ears. This is a wonderful rediscovery

[@orlandoengland9184]

I'm a bassist and whenever I'm playing cover along with this song it just makes you feel down right SEXY! It doesn't get any better than this for a vocalist or a musician. Yes INDEED!!!

[@MrPollito007]

Incredible voicing and arrangement!

[@194861amg]

Eliane, gosto muito de você

[@kingmike9999]

Great song, great voice

[@hiddenvillage68]

I hate to break into the high toned badinage of late but thanks for the reference to Gene Puerling. I didn't know his name but remember some of his work. Vocalese and Brazilian Jazz are a pretty hard combo to beat and the mashup of Eliane and Take 6 is a fantasy team.

[@haroldhill2864]

One of my favorites sang by Ms. Elias.

[@TLDavis1230]

Is it me or does Eliane Elias ooze some serious sex appeal? 😍😍

[@jourwalis-8875]

Fantastic music! But I don´t like fade outs in the end! Sounds so 70:s. It´s unnatural.

[@4meincognito]

What the !

[@lynne1698]

Eliane. Can't say anything else. Drive her car? Ya know it lol
