Sessa
Sessa has long been a staple of both the American and Brazilian music scenes. First known for his collaborations with New York guitar legend Yonatan Gat and as a co-founder of the São Paulo psych-funk combo Garotas Suecas, Sessa released his debut album Grandeza in 2019.
Sessa's songs are sung in Portuguese, with sensual lyrics and melodic flourishes not unlike those of Tom Jobim. The music, however, is kept deliberately minimalist in a way rarely found in contemporary Brazilian music. Sessa's concerts are already legendary, as he usually takes the stage accompanied only by a female choir and Afro-Brazilian percussion. While the songs often deal with themes of the sensual body and spiritual transcendence, the music points in a new, more subtle direction for Brazilian pop music – a deep, minimalist, almost implied use of the endlessly rich textures and rhythms that define Brazil's songwriting history, of which Sessa is one of the most promising new voices.
