Cibele Codonho - Afinidade (2016)

Afinidade is the new solo album by São Paulo singer Cibele Codonho, with musical direction and arrangements by Pichu Borrelli. The CD which includes Brazilian rhythms such as ciranda, baião and samba, with a touch of jazz - has special appearances by the leader of the American vocal group take 6, mark kibble - who recorded a duet with cibele of “love dance/ remembrance” (ivan lins , gilson peranzzetta, paul williams and vitor martins) - in addition to filó Machado, with vatapá (léa freire and joyce moreno). Affinidade has a varied sound of piano and bass, both acoustic and electric, drums, winds and percussion. Cibele's voice also appears with different textures than the solo voice, alternating moments of vocal harmony and percussive effects. Cibele Codonho is known for investing in sophisticated harmonies with confidence and for participating in the entire musical process - especially in the conception of arrangements, a characteristic acquired as leader of the three-way vocal group with whom she released the CD Vocalise (Eldorado, 1998) and through the intense Musical coexistence with Johnny Alf and Filó Machado, with whom he recorded the album Tom Brasilian (Lua Music, 2005). The singer accumulates experience of performing alongside artists from the Brazilian and international scene such as Djavan, Leny Andrade, Milton Nascimento, Rosa Passos, Os Cariocas, Quartet in Cy, Alaíde Costa, Boca Livre, Proveta, Yuka Kido and Stan Gilbert to now start solo career.
