Product Description
Content Introduction As a member of the Latin Grammy Award-winning group Barra de Zello, Ze Ibarra made his first visit to Japan in 2023 for Fruezinho. While they captivated the sold-out venues with their enthusiastic performances, many were undoubtedly charmed by Ze's beautiful high-pitched voice. His voice also shines with special brilliance in Brazil, and in 2022, he accompanied Milton Nascimento on his final world tour as a singer and guitarist before Nascimento announced his retirement from concerts. He was also selected as the opening act, captivating the large audiences of Brazil, the land of song, and can now be said to be a musician who will lead the next generation of Brazilian music. This album, "Marqu?s, 256.", is Ze Ibarra's first solo album. The title is taken from the address of an old building in the Gavea district of Rio, which is also his home. The aura of that building, the memories associated with it, and his own growth were said to have been the inspiration for this album. The recording also took place on the inner staircase of that building. The accompaniment consists solely of his own guitar or piano playing. It's an extremely simple singer-songwriter piece, but the organic combination and, above all, the voice that Milton himself acknowledged, is simply breathtaking. In an era where musicians around the world are employing every possible technique to stand out, there are few artists who can compete in such an authentic way. From "D? a D?," composed by Dora Morelenbaum, a close friend of Barra Dezejo, to the final Milton song "San Vicente," the repertoire, which seems to summarize the essence of both old and new Brazilian music, is also superb. With a voice that could be called a successor to Milton Nascimento, or with an uninhibited expressiveness reminiscent of Gilberto Gil or Caetano Veloso, Z? Ibarra will undoubtedly lead Brazilian music in the future. Don't miss this album, where you can enjoy his origins and naked charm. TRACK LIST 1. Vou-Me Embora 2. Como Eu Queria Voltar 3. D? a D? 4.
