- AMARÉ blends the rhythmic soul of Brazil with the freedom of jazz improvisation — not as imitation, but as an organically grown musical language rooted in deep cultural understanding.
- Created by vocalist Céline Rudolph (Germany), pianist Henrique Gomide, and guitarist João Luís Nogueira (both Brazil), the album reflects a rare musical synergy that bridges continents and traditions.
- Special contributions by Brazilian icons Toninho Horta (electric guitar) and Teco Cardoso (flutes, saxophone) add depth, color, and unmistakable authenticity to the sound.
AMARÉ is a musical tribute to the sea, to love, and to the ever-shifting tides of inspiration between Brazil and Europe. The title blends a maré (the tide) and amar é (to love is), capturing the album’s essence: movement, emotion, and surrender. Vocalist Céline Rudolph, pianist Henrique Gomide, and guitarist João Luís Nogueira come together in an intuitive dialogue where Brazilian rhythms and jazz improvisation meet in perfect flow.
The trio moves seamlessly between original compositions and fresh interpretations of classics by João Donato, Gilberto Gil, Toninho Horta, and Candeia. Each track resonates with freedom and connection — whether in the poetic depth of Itacimirim, the rhythmic interplay of Toca da Arara, or the quiet beauty of Preciso Me Encontrar.
AMARÉ is not a reconstruction but an organically grown musical language where tradition and modernity converge. With guest appearances by Toninho Horta and Teco Cardoso, this is a contemporary ode to Brazilian music — authentic, exploratory, and timeless.
