If the flamboyant guitarist Gaëlle Solal has understood one truth above all, it is that some paths have to be winding before they lead to their destination. Her close collaboration with Brazilian musicians, whether in Rio or far beyond, has not only taught her the language, but also the effortless lightness of the carioca rhythms that have shaped our musical imagination for more than a century. From choro to maxixe, these nostalgic or lively pieces transport us to a place on earth that never ceases to fascinate us, precisely because it is constantly changing. From the roots of the brejeiro to the concerto of Heitor Villa-Lobos to the luminous popular instinct of Chiquinha Gonzaga, Gaëlle Solal leads us to an inspired celebration of the magical myth of the saci. Here, through the voice of composer Clarice Assad, this mischievous spirit of Rio has become a concerto for Brazil's pre-eminent instrument, which we have long dreamed of hearing so close up.
