**“Her voice traces a landscape of emotion that knows no boundaries.” — ****Entertainment Weekly** Vocalist **Luciana Souza** has highlighted the expressive power of the guitar in her work for over two decades, most notably through her acclaimed *Duos Trilogy* - *Brazilian Duos*, *Duos II*, and *Duos III* — all Grammy-nominated recordings. With *New Moon*, she deepens that journey in an intimate collaboration with Brazilian guitarist, composer and fellow São Paulo native **Marcel Camargo**. Both artists share deep musical roots shaped by São Paulo’s vibrant sonic landscape and a lifelong connection to jazz and Brazilian traditions. In this acoustic project for voice, guitar and string quartet, Souza and Camargo reimagine Brazilian classics and debut new co-written songs, with soulful arrangements by Camargo.* New Moon* reflects their shared desire to uncover what lies in the shadows, offering a sound world rich in texture, subtlety and emotion. For Souza, the addition of strings realizes a longtime dream. For Camargo, who has collaborated with Bebel Gilberto, Michael Bublé, and Gretchen Parlato, it’s a chance to write with clarity and depth. Together, they blend their Brazilian heritage and creative vision to craft music that stirs the soul and lifts the spirit to the* New Moon*.
