Barbara Mendes

Barbara Mendes is a solo artist associated with Brazil whose catalog here spans 2001–2002. The artist is connected with Bossa Nova, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Bossa Nova shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “Awakening”. Then move to “Bossa Très Jazz II: Step Into the Gallery” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
