Sérgio Pereira - Bossa+ (2024) [Official Digital Download]

Fresh off his win at the 2024 World Entertainment Awards in Hollywood for Finesse, which was named 'Best Tropical Album', guitarist-composer Sergio Pereira is back with more soothing sounds to uplift the soul. Once again combining elements of bossa nova, samba, jazz and pop into one pleasing package, Pereira’s latest offering comes directly from the heart. As he said, BOSSA+ is an album that reflects the music and sounds that come from my life experiences, influences, sounds and places.”

A native of Rio de Janeiro who currently splits his time between Spain and Austria, Pereira is an accomplished player who has mastered the art of fingerstyle comping on nylon string acoustic guitar, the heart of bossa nova as established by his role models like João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Carlos Lyra, João Donato and Marcus Valle. As he explained, “ Growing up in Rio in the 60’s and 70’s has contributed tremendously to the energy, groove and rhythms
reflected in my music today.” Following a move to New York City in the ‘80s, Pereira expanded his guitar vocabulary
by studying with jazz greats Chuck Wayne and Sal Salvador, giving him an ability to “blow over the changes” in a quintessentially jazzy sense. Both qualities — the alluring comping on nylon string guitar and the burning single note improvisations — come to fruition on BOSSA+, his fourth recording as a leader.
