Foggy Notion: Sessa

Support: Wolfgang Pérez

Sergio Sayeg (aka Sessa) is fascinated by "the confusion" of music, "the distorted translations that music undergoes on its journey". A cultural cannibal like the legendary Brazilian Tropicalistas from the late sixties, Sessa seamlessly mixes musical references, from rock and jazz to samba and soul. With his new album Pequena Vertigem de Amor (Little Vertigo of Love), Sessa, who hails from São Paulo and lives in New York City, expands the sound universe he has built up since his debut in 2019. "A little more nocturnal, open, weirdly funky" - Pequena Vertigem de Amor channels the refined elegance of the Brazilian MPB scene of the late seventies, mixed with the psychedelic soul of Sly Stone and Shuggie Otis, without deviating from his signature sound of acoustic guitar, Afro-Brazilian percussion and the dialog between Sessa's unmistakable voice and the familial female choir.
