João Donato

We are more than proud to manage a release of this record in Europe. One of our brazilian musical heroes. One of the kings of tropical groove from all eras. Really limited edition for Europe in a diferent sleeve. Killer record and essencial.

It is known that good albums generate good shows, but in the case of this album, we can do the opposite. “Donato Elétrico” began to take shape following a show performed by the artist in 2014, at Sesc Pinheiros (São Paulo, Brazil). On that occasion, the musician released the emblematic album “Quem é Quem” on stage, after a delay of more than 40 years.

For this late release, Donato invited young musicians from São Paulo, with whom he had already been working on the idea of a new project, and who helped him recreate the original atmosphere of “Quem é Quem”, full of grooves, whose essence was in the João's electric piano.

After the show, it was sure that this meeting could yield much more. The result can be heard in “Donato Elétrico”, a collection of themes that refer to a sound that Donato had left behind in his work from the 70s.
