Tulipa Ruiz - Habilidades Extraordinárias

1LP Vinyl - JB11

Tulipa Ruiz is a Latin Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and illustrator from São Paulo. Born in a family of musicians (her father, Luiz Chagas, played with Itamar Assumpção, and her brother, Gustavo Ruiz, is her longtime producer), she follows the footsteps of the Vanguarda Paulista and offers a bold, genre-bending sound. Fusing MPB, soul, pop, and rock, her music is joyful, rich, and one of a kind. Since her debut album, Efêmera (2010), Tulipa has become one of Brazil's most distinctive voices, with five critically acclaimed albums, collaborations with Elza Soares and Milton Nascimento, and performances at international festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and Lollapalooza. From the hypnotic "Samaúma" to the infectious "Estardalhaço," Habilidades Extraordinarias seamlessly blends improvisation and groove. The duet "Disco Voador" with João Donato, one of her last recordings, bridges generations, combining bossa-jazz swing and the warmth of Donato's Fender Rhodes with Tulipa's luminous vocals. "Pluma Black" (featuring Negro Leo) explores pre-jazz abstraction, while "Novelos" and the album's title track evoke the soul-jazz of the Hermeto Pascoal and Stevie Wonder era. Acclaimed throughout Brazil, Habilidades Extraordinarias established Tulipa Ruiz as a leading figure in modern MPB, combining melodic sophistication, humor, and emotional depth. Ten years after her spectacular climb to success and her Latin Grammy Award victory, she continues to enrich the Brazilian pop and jazz scene.
