Sessa, From the 2023 New York Guitar Festival in The Greene Space

Category: Health
Duration: 00:25:33

Description:

Brazilian singer/songwriter Sessa (born Sergio Sayeg in Sao Paolo) is heir to the great tradition of MPB – Brazilian popular music, in the vein of Gilberto Gil or Caetano Veloso. But he favors a stripped down approach that reflects his own love of the German minimalist group Cluster, and his lyrics – often about love, heartbreak, and the power of music – echo themes in Leonard Cohen’s songs and Sun Ra’s cosmic jazz. He plays songs from his latest, Estrela Acesa, or “Burning Star” at the 2023 New York Guitar Festival in the Greene Space. 

Set list: Grandeza, Ponto de Faca, Pele de Estera, Sereia Sentimental, Flor do Real
