David Yengibarian & Eva Alekszandrovna - Don't Let Samba Die (2022) [Hi-Res]

"I remember the moment when I decided that I can not wait any longer and I texted David who was recommended to me by a friend of mine. I sent him a long message to introduce myself and explained that I am not a professional singer. I hoped he can suggest me a student of him but his answer was just: “Call me tomorrow and let’s give it a try!”. Of course, I was terribly nervous when we met at the very first time. I was not even sure that I will be able to sing. But this feeling passed right after the first song we played. It was just great and we were playing one more and one more just like we were playing together long time ago. That is how our friendship and musical journey started. It is such a huge gift from life to find someone with whom you can play your favourite songs simply for the joy that music can bring. I think this is our secret. That there is nothing forced. We are playing only those songs what we both love and enjoy. There is something about Brasilian samba that I can not describe by words. You need to feel it." Eva Alekszandrovna
