Raf Vilar, CD Review

Lucy Duran presents a session from Brazilian musician Raf Vilar, and a review of new CD releases.

Lucy Duran is joined in the studio by the Brazilian singer Raf Vilar, performing with his band. Raf's debut album Studies in Bossa consists of the songs he has been writing since his early teens, and draws on the influences he absorbed growing up in Rio de Janeiro, particularly the 1960s bossa nova of Tom Jobim. He now lives in London's East End, where he has assembled an international group of musicians to realise these intricate recordings in a live setting. Raf talks to Lucy about his inspirations, and also performs a solo version of one of his favourite Jobim songs.
Lucy is also joined by the musician and broadcaster Monica Vasconcelos, and the writer David Hutcheon, to review some of the latest recordings of World Music. Under consideration are Portuguese fado singer Mariza, Italian superstar Vinicio Capossela, and Brazilian vocalist Mariana Aydar, as well as a new compilation of 'African Guitar Legends'.
