JAZZ REVIEW Teka blends Guitar Skills With Her Velvety Vocals. Brazilian singer-guitarist Teka spends most of her time in the Santa Barbara area, making occasional forays into Los Angeles every month or so. When she does, the event is well worth seeking out--she is one of Brazil's most appealing contributions to Southland music.... But what makes Teka's work even more convincing is the manner in which she joines her instrumental and vocal skills. Like Joao Gilberto, she brought everything into a unified expression, combining her vocal lines and rhythmic guitar accompaniments into a single, elegantly buoyant musical blend. In the case of bossa nova era hits such as Samba de Uma Nota So and O Barquinho; Teka updated the familiar lines with brisk, jazz-oriented backing from bassist Randy Tico, drummer Kevin Winard and trumpeter-keyboardist Jeff Elliott. --LA Times (3,2005)
Product Description
The rich palette of music styles that comes from Brazil. A sultry bossa nova journey.

When you really need Brazilian...,
By Ray Evans (Santa Barbara, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Watercolours of Brazil (Audio CD)
You know the feeling when you do...when nothing else can help you make sense of a world clearly going to hell in a handbasket. Ah, but Teka...listen to this album by Teka. Just spend an hour or so with this exquisite Brazilian enchantress, and by the time you get to her cover of that Paul Winter/Ivan Lins new age workhorse, "Common Ground," maybe, just maybe, you might give the world another chance. This is beyond mere music for your jaded self...this gets at the soul, reveals it even. Plus, it swings 'til next week.
