«RIOFONIC» : Un voyage sonore au cœur de Rio con Mafalda Minnozzi
A stunning new review for ‘RIOFONIC’ from Paris, courtesy of IGGY MAGAZINE!
‘…on RIOFONIC, Mafalda Minnozzi doesn’t just sing bossa nova: she embodies its spirit. This new album, born from her deep immersion in Rio, unfolds as a chronicle of unique musical encounters and influences that shaped her art.’
‘From the very first notes, the listener is captivated by how Minnozzi blends the sensual warmth of bossa nova with the subtle colors of jazz. Alongside New York producer and guitarist Paul Ricci, she surrounds her voice with an ensemble of exceptional musicians – from iconic Roberto Menescal to Jaques Morelenbaum – who infuse each track with vibrant authenticity.’ This fusion of talent makes every track unforgettable.
This fusion of talent makes every track unforgettable.‘Two original compositions, ‘Café South American Style’ and ‘Postcard From Rio,’ co-written with Paul Ricci, create a fascinating bridge between her personal memory and the infectious energy of Rio. These tracks, supported by a light yet sophisticated orchestra, offer a contemporary counterpoint to the standards.’
The Parisian magazine concludes: ‘…what distinguishes RIOFONIC, beyond technical virtuosity, is the emotional connection Minnozzi establishes with every musical phrase. Her voice, at times tender and bold, seems to dialogue with the city itself… with RIOFONIC, the artist offers a deeply engaging listening experience, a personal homage to Carioca music, characterized by a timeless elegance that leaves a lasting impression on the listener’s imagination.’
