Described as "the doyen of the Brazilian singer-songwriters" Vinicius Cantuaria is one of the world"s most sublime artists. His gentle, elegiac, subtly subversive music places him in a lineage that includes the great Tom Jobim (whose Vino Sonhando he covers on "Cymbals") and Caetano Veloso (who recorded his song Lua E Estrella).
