The magical culture of Brazil has captured the hearts of many. Vocalist
Camille Bertault began her love a air with Brazil in 2013, when she was
awarded a grant from the City of Paris to collect Brazilian stories and legends
to turn into a play. Bertault stayed in Brazil for three months, learning
Portuguese and befriending many locals. Since then, she has returned
every year to collaborate and perform with the great talent she met there.
Bertault’s new Voz e Vocês is a gorgeous tribute to these joyous encounters
and her love for Brazil.
During Bertault’s initial visit to Brazil, where she collected stories, songs,
and the Portuguese language. Her earnestness in her project also won
her many friends, including a number of notable musicians and music industry
people, including a festival promoter who brought Bertault back the next
year beginning the vocalist’s annual pilgrimages to the country.
When she returned to Brazil in 2022, Bertault wanted to make a present
to herself and create a tribute to the wonderful friends that she had
developed in São Paulo and Rio de Janiero. Bertault reached out to recording
engineers Adonias Souza Júnior (São Paulo) and Tassio Ramos (Rio de Janeiro)
to capture some impromptu duo and small group performances with her
close collaborators.
