A homecoming for the London-based artist, Moyses’ debut reconnects him with his North-Eastern roots while assembling an international cast of collaborators including legendary Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai, US trumpet sensation Theo Croker and London-based vocal star Lynda Dawn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eAfter relocating from Brazil to London in the early 2000s, Moyses dos Santos quickly became one of the capitals’ most in-demand players, sharing stages, studios, and writing credits with best-selling artists including Nile Rodgers, Janelle Monáe, Emile Sandé, Gregory Porter and Omar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eIn 2022, Moyses toured with Brazilian jazz-funk legends Azymuth, completing the rhythm section alongside Brazilian drumming master Ivan \"Mamão\" Conti. \"It felt like he was my wise Brazilian grandfather figure.\" Moyses recalls. \"When you spend so many years working internationally, you unconsciously start to leave certain parts of yourself behind. Mamão encouraged me to reconnect with Brazilian music, and that's where this record really began.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eBrazil’s North-east, where African, indigenous and European traditions collided and fused most intensely, produced a musical heritage unlike anything else on earth, Moyses dos Santos is a product of this syncretism. On Maria, named after his mother, Moyses brings the musical vocabularies of his youth to the fore. From the soul of the church band where he began to learn his trade as a musician, to the rolling batucadas – maractus, baiaos, sambas and frevos – which he played throughout his teenage years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eDrawing on the lineage of North American electric bass giants like George Duke, Jaco Pastorius, and Stanley Clarke, Moyses runs Brazilian musical traditions through jazz, funk, soul and disco: his sound charged with the cosmopolitan energy of London's contemporary jazz scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eLead single and album opener “Boa Viagem’ is joyous, carnivalesque dancefloor jazz: a timeless groove for the nightclub and street party alike. Calling directly to a higher power “Brazilian Spirit” is an astral-jazz phenomenon, featuring the transcendent trumpet playing of Grammy nominated Theo Croker. On “Saudade” Moyses calls upon iconic Brazilian maestro Arthur Verocai, whose signature string arrangements cascade around the divine vocals of ascendant London artist Lynda Dawn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
