Daniel Marques & Paula Santoro
"I'm glad every time I hear my songs interpreted with freedom and, above all, a lot of talent. Bravo!"
(Edu Lobo)
Paula Santoro and Daniel Marques had known each other for some years but had never played together until the day that destiiny brought them together musically at a party at the singer's house. Paula and other friends singers took turns experimenting diverse musical styles and Daniel accompanied them masterfully in so many different ways. The versatility of the guitar player caught Paula and from this instantaneous musical empathy aroused a desire to create some project together.
Thus it was born a homage to one of the greatest Brazilian composers of all time by whom the duo has deep admiration: Edu Lobo. The repertoire consists of Edu classics such as "Lero-Lero", "Vento Bravo", "Canção do Amanhecer" (lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes - the same as in The Girl From Ipanema) "Na Carreira" (with Chico Buarque) among others.
Edu Lobo achieved fame in the 1960s as part of the bossa nova movement. He has been recorded by Sarah Vaughan, Paul Desmond, Earth Wind & Fire, Tom Jobim, Toots Thielemans, Marcos Valle, Elis Regina, Sergio Mendes, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethania, Gilberto Gil...
