Based between Los Angeles and Tokyo, Brazilian-American guitarist, composer, and producer Fabiano do Nascimento<\/a> is known for his imaginative blend of Brazilian traditions with modern sounds. He has announced a new album that sees him continuing to explore new musical landscapes. Entitled Cavejaz<\/em>, the title was suggested by his friend Sam Gendel, who is also credited with the album’s artwork. \u201cKind of sounds like music coming from a cave with water and organic elements,” Fabiano commented.<\/p>\n

Cavejaz<\/em> sprouted from\u00a0a conversation with Minas Gerais singer and songwriter Jennifer Souza, who suggested that Fabiano record with Paulo Santos, a founding member of the influential Brazilian group UAKTI. In August 2024, Fabiano and Santos recorded at Studio Ilha do Corvo in Belo Horizonte with producer Leo Marques. The sessions took place during a difficult moment for Brazil, as widespread wildfires filled the air with smoke and forced the musicians indoors. \u201cBut,\u201d Fabiano says, \u201cwe managed to have a good time still, and to enjoy recording the open and free ideas that would come up. Leo would just hit record, and we would just play.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second part of Cavejaz<\/em> took shape in Japan, where Fabiano performed and recorded with U-zhaan, a renowned tabla player. Their live performance in a noh-gaku-doh theater in Tokyo was recorded and included on the album, alongside additional recordings Fabiano completed solo at SALO studio in Oiso. Fabiano explains:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSo the project became a selection of what I recorded in Minas Gerais in studio with Paulo and Jennifer in August 2024, and the rest live in Japan, with one exception being live recording from a concert I performed in Los Angeles with my longtime bandmate, the percussionist Ricardo \u2018Tiki\u2019 Pasillas (Salvador). The material made sense together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cavejaz<\/em> was recorded across three countries, but it has a natural flow throughout, with the music centred on guitar and handmade percussion, augmented by U-zhaan\u2019s tabla and Tiki\u2019s hybrid percussion setup. The album arrives on November 21st through Leaving Records<\/a> and ahead of it, Fabiano has shared the magnificent and soothing opener ‘Aguas Serenas’ as the first single. Take a listen below.<\/p>\n
