2010 is gone… viva 2011!

31/12/2010

We had a great year! I hope you did so as well!
There were very special shows going on – and we’ve been working with fantastic musicians.
No matter if the project was MEUS AMORES – brazilian lovesongs with the incredibly Benjamim Taubkin on piano and Margarethe Deppe on Violoncello – with a tour bringing us to the completly sold out Wiener Konzerthaus / Mozartsaal or the Cancarejew Dom in Ljublana – or with my regular band project presenting brazilian bastardsound – it was simply amazing!
We had a small US Tour, bringing us to New York City & Washington DC, where we had a great time at Joe’s Pub and at the Austrian Cultural Forums.
In Europe, certainly one of the highlights was playing at the Veneto Jazz Festival – or doing the opening of Into the City / Wiener Festwochen.
I loved the energetic cooperation with la Banda di Piazza Caricamento from Genova, with amazing shows in Italy & Croatia and our new project “everybody bastardista” presenting a huge band with amazing rappers and dancers – simply BOMBASTIC!
Not to forget an excursion to the roots of Bossa Nova with the brazilian legend Nelson Angelo
Here is my present to all of you –
lots of love !!

And 2011 is even more promising!
we will party and enjoy 100 years centenary of international women’s day with a great project: femous. The femous orchestra will bring female excellency to all of you… don’t miss us!!!
and in the meantime… I’m in Brazil – between Pedra Azul, my hometown and Salvador, where I’m running the project Casa Matria — find me @ http://www.casamatria.net Axé!!!

Zdravo Ljubjana!

passwords… & Meus Amores

19/04/2010

you know how it feels…
anyhow, we’re back now. Back from the first Meus Amores Shows with Benjamim Taubkin/Brazil/piano & Margarethe Deppe/Germany/cello…
We started our small Austria début Tour in Gutenbrunn @ Bühnenwirtshaus Juster. 2 worky days in the Waldviertel – fresh, intensive. A lovely start evening in a cude place. Danke Dieter, für die wunderbare Gastfreundschaft und das tolle Publikum! Then Bludenz – Remise. Warm welcome by Miriam Schreinzer, director and former program curator from Jeunesse. She invited us to elaborate the project Meus amores. Thanks for the input, thanks for inviting us!
We had an amazing night in Bludenz. Full house – great sound (thanks Horst!) – and a wounderful show. Soft. Surprising. Full of tenderness. We’re excited about the next shows…

Célia Mara’s „meus amores“

18/04/2010


listen to meus amores
The Brazilian Singer-Songwriter Célia Mara presents a new program, dedicated to the most exciting feelings you’ve ever experienced… Love. It’s an acoustic program, sophisticated, combining intensive interpretations with instrumental perfection.
On stage, you’ll get a magic powder, an exciting love-portion out of Bossa Nova and Brazilian folklore, Latin Jazz and Tango, Boleros and Rumbas – welcome in “Emozônia”! This is an acoustic, contemporary experience, playing with sweet temptation and sensual seduction, full of suspense, surprising sonoric textures, opening new worlds with each song. Be aware!
To expect is a Brazilian night full of poetry and intensive feelings, a journey into the depth of prickling sentiments, discovering Brazilian love songs – some classical ones as well as those written by Célia Mara.

Célia Mara joined two of Brazil’s most extraordinary instrumental artists Benjamim Taubkin and Margarethe Deppe to discover this smooth world together with her. On piano, the virtuosu Benjamim Taubkin from São Paolo will give his personal flavor to Mara’s Brazilian love songs… Benjamim is surely one of Brazil’s most recommended piano-players, well known for his border- and genre crossing work in contemporary music, as director of big symphonic orchestras as well as Solist or Bandleader in chamber music, in Choro or in Jazz. You might know him as well as Sissy Possi’s sideman. On Cello: you will discover Margarethe Deppe, the third woman in “meus amores”. She is an impressive instrumentalist with surprising and creative interpretations between different styles and genres.
Célia Mara, Brazilian singer songwriter resident in Austria, is among Europe’s most renowned Brazilian world music artist’s, her latest albums “bastardista” and “Santa Rebeldia” were highly acclaimed by the international critics, with her band she brought her extraordinary bastardsound into big concert halls and festivals in Europe, Northern Africa and Russia.
Heißblütig und feurig, schmeichelnd, fordernd, provozierend, dann wieder schmachtend, flehend, verloren in ungewollter Einsamkeit… Célia Mara braut einen prickelnden Liebestrank aus Bossa Nova und brasilianischer Folklore, verbindet Balladen, Latin Jazz und Tango, Boleros und Rumbas zu einem exotischen Cocktail des ganz Normalen: der grenzenlosen, unbeschreiblichen Liebe.
Rein akustisch präsentiert sie sich mit dem Projekt “meus amores” – hautnah lässt sie ihre sinnliche, raue Stimme erklingen, nur begleitet von ihren kongenialen Partnern Benjamim Taubkin und Margarethe Deppe an Klavier und Cello.
Célia Mara gilt als Österreichs “Paradebrasilianerin” (ZIB), sie zählt zu den international renommierten KünstlerInnen der Worldmusic, mit ihrer Band bespielte sie mit ihrem „Bastardsound“ große Konzerthäuser und Festivals in Europa, Nordafrika und Russland. Benjamim Taubkin zählt gegenwärtig zu den bedeutendsten Pianisten Brasiliens, Margarethe Deppe beeindruckt mit Vielfalt und Kreativität.
Zu erwarten ist  eine Nacht voll tiefer Gefühle, Hingabe und Zärtlichkeit, voller Träume, Leidenschaft, Eifersucht und Neugierde. Ganz einfach: Liebe – auf Brasilianisch!

A cantora brasileira Célia Mara apresenta um novo programa, dedicado ao que há de mais apaixonante na vida… ao AMOR. É um programa acústico, sofisticado, combinando interpretações intensas com instrumental de altíssimo nível.
As canções tratam do amor e seus derivados, ciúme, perdão, traição, paixão, solidão… Fala do amor-á-primeira-vista, do amor espíritual, homosexual, à natureza, tradicional etc…
No palco prá namorar uma porção de magia – “pó mágico” – porção do amor – pega rapaz –pega moça pega todo mundo. É um programa composto de Bossa, folclore, Latin Jazz, Tango, Boleros, baladas, afro,… benvindos na “Emozônia”! É uma experiênça acústica, contemporânea cheia de suspense, de texturas sonoras surpreendentes, a cada canção um novo mundo.
Cuidado! Você vai viver uma noite Brasileira cheia de poesias e de emoções intensas, uma viagem dentro do mundo dos sentimentos puros, ouvindo algum “clássico” do amor brasileiro e – sobretudo – descobrindo canções de amor escritas por Célia Mara.
Acompanhada por nada mais nada menos, que um dos melhores instrumentistas contemporâneos do Brasil, o grande pianista paulista Benjamim Taubkin, que dá em tudo um toque de piano impecável, que sabe explorar , além dos lindos e limpídos timbres, uma harmonia de um gosto de quem se sabe exato.
Com Margarethe Deppe no chello uma artista versatil, soave e surprendente…
O trio vem formado com Célia Mara – voz e violão, o Benjamim Taubkin, piano e Margarethe Deppe no cello.
O tour de abril os levará em vários teatros da Àustria – e sobretudo na maior sala de música clássica e contemporânea – Konzerthaus de Viena; estarão também se apresentando em sala prestígiadas da Slovênia, em Ljubjlana no Cankarjev Dom.
