Rosalia De Souza was born in Rio de Janeiro, in the Nilopolis district famous for its samba Beija-Flor. The great passion for music was cultivated by her father. In 1989 she arrived in Italy and a short time went by before she started studying at the “Scuola Popolare di Testaccio” in Rome, (Popular school of Testaccio, Roma), taking classes in musical theory, Cuban percussions, jazz and jazz history.

Throughout this first year she also started to work with Brazilian artists, guitarist and bassist Alvaro Dos Santos, Ney Coutinho, Roberto Taufic and the Roman pianist Giovanni Guaccero who gave her the possibility to sing in the most important jazz clubs of the capital.

Her typical repertoire included classical Brazilian authors like Tom Jobim, Baden Powell, Joao Gilberto, Sergio Mendes, Edu Lobo, Joyce, Toquinho, Vinicius De Moraes, Djavan, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, Milton Nascimento and many other less renown artists. In 1994 she met DJ and Producer Nicola Conte and took part to the Fez project. In 1995 she participated in the making of the album “Novo Esquema da Bossa” by Quintetto X; (Schema rtcd402). This album has an exquisite Brazilian taste and a marvellous version of “Senza Paura”. In 1997 she collaborated with “Intensive Jazz Sextet” (Schema sccd302) with an incredible interpretation of “Supergiangi va in Brasile” in the album “Today’s Sound”.

In June 2000 she participated at the Brazil Festival at the Barbican Center in London with talented jazz musicians: Pietro Lussu, Pietro Ciancaglini and Lorenzo Tucci. There she met “Les Hommes” with whom she participated, with the addition of trombonist Gianluca Petrella, at the Fez Jazz Festival in Bari. Rosalia and Les Hommes gave also greatly appreciated performances at the International Lounge Festival in Cesenatico, at the Summer Lounge Festival and at the Jazz Cafe in London. With Schema Sextet and Nicola Conte she was called to represent Italy at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2001. She closed with a wonderful concert the Summer Lounge Festival in Cisternino, Italy.

Album Description:

Rosalia De Souza and Producer Nicola Conte offer 11 different takes on the songs from De Souza's critically acclaimed debut album "Garota Moderna" ("Modern Girl"). Hers is the sultry voice that evokes memories of the best brazilian vocalists of the 1960's and their total passion for their craft and De Souza joined their ranks with the stunning premiere volume of her discography.
This project, conceived and made possible by Nicola Conte, explores different music genres, spanning from the nu jazz of Five Corners Quintet, Povo and Gianluca Petrella to more contemporary sounds like the ones made by Truby Trio, Raw Deal, Zero dB and Big Bang, without of course forgetting the bossa sound of Gerardo Frisina, and it also reaches more ambient atmospheres, care of The Dining Rooms, Buscemi and Stateless.
