ON WE GO

KENIA-on we go Kenia returns with her most personal CD release to date. ON WE GO is at it’s heart a collection of songs that Kenia loves, songs that were written for her specifically, and songs for which she wrote lyrics.

An outstanding line-up of musicians were gathered to bring Kenia’s vision to light – members from her first band Pau-Brasil – Paul Socolow and Mark Soskin are reunited with her and they joined by Sandro Albert on guitar, Adriano Santos on drums, and her son Lucas Ashby on percussion. Guest performances by harmonica virtuoso Hendrik Meurkens and acclaimed guitarist Romero Lubambo bring their own magic to the project.

Tracks include renditions of works by renowned Brazilian composers Ivan Lins and Antonio Adolfo as well as original compositions by Luiz Simas, Romero Lubambo, Rique Pantoja and Aloisio Aguiar.

Contemporary covers include Gershwin’s Summertime, the Beatles Nowhere Man and the cover track, ON WE GO, by Eric Susoeff with lyrics by Lorraine Feather.

KENIA CELEBRATES DORIVAL CAYMM

Kenia pays homage to the Dorival Caymmi Songbook on her New Mooka Records release, “Kenia Celebrates Dorival Caymmi”. Ever hungry for new challenges, the sultry-voiced Brazilian enchantress Kenia, who reemerged on the jazz scene two years ago with the critically-acclaimed album Simply Kenia, serves up one of the most demanding and satisfying projects of her three decade long career.

PROJECT IVAN LINS

This project also features special guests such as Romero Lubambo, Jay Ashby and Ivan Lins himself, who sings two duets with Kenia, on “Closer to me” (Mudanca dos Ventos) and “Even you and I” (Lembra). Although this is perhaps Kenia’s most “Brazilian” project to date, she never seems to lose that certain something that has always made her music transcend geographic and musical boundaries.
