Сеу: магия соблазна масс
Оригинал статьи: http://soloneba.com/ceu-magic-temptation-of-the-masses/
Солнечная и любвеобильная Бразилия объединила в себе культурное наследие трёх цивилизаций – индейской, европейской и африканской. Соответственно, в результате смешения различных традиций, и бразильская музыка, подарившая нам Антониу Карлоса Жобима, Каэтану Велозу, Аструд Жилберту, необычайно пестра и самобытна. Самба, пагоде, форро, кариокский фанк, шору, босса-нова, сертанежу, MPB – вот лишь некоторые бразильские жанры. Именно в атмосфере такого колоссального разнообразия появилась звезда нового поколения Сеу, которой удалось привнести в эту радужную музыкальную палитру свой колорит.
Мария ду Сеу Уитакер Покас – таково полное имя соблазнительной исполнительницы, предпочитающей называть себя просто Сеу (что по-португальски значит «небо»). Обладательница замечательного голоса, внешности, музыкального вкуса и нескольких статуэток Грэмми на сегодняшний день является одной из наиболее востребованных бразильских певиц. Сеу родилась в Сан-Паулу 17 апреля 1980 года в семье музыкантов. Её папа был композитором, аранжировщиком и музыковедом. Именно от него Мария ду Сеу заразилась любовью к бразильской классической музыке. В возрасте пятнадцати лет она решила стать музыкантом и посвятила свои ранние годы изучению музыкальных основ. В качестве инструмента девушка выбрала для себя виолао – бразильскую разновидность классической гитары с нейлоновыми струнами. В 18 лет она переехала в Нью-Йорк, погрузившись в мир джаза, блюза и R&B – от Билли Холидей и Эллы Фицджеральд до Лорин Хилл и Эрики Баду. Всё это позже проявилось в её песнях, в которых также можно найти влияние таких стилей и направлений, как самба, соул, хип-хоп, афробит и электроджаз.
«У меня страсть к черной культуре, – говорит Сеу о своих музыкальных предпочтениях, – от классических джазовых исполнительниц до народных африканских ритмов. Мне интересно всё, что родом из Африки. Я чувствую сильную связь с музыкой самба, особенно со старой школой самбы, именуемой у нас Samba de raiz («корни самбы»). Я слушаю много виниловых пластинок и стараюсь привнести их звучание в свои CD-альбомы, смешивая старые жанры с современными, к примеру с такими, как реп или брега (с португальского – «бордель») — свежая волна в Бразилии».
Практически все альбомы Сеу, начиная с дебютного диска, получившего в 2006 году музыкальную премию Грэмми в категории «Лучший альбом современной музыки мира» (Best Contemporary World Music Album), были тепло встречены и критиками, и публикой. Знаковой оказалась встреча исполнительницы с джазовым гуру – пианистом Херби Хэнкоком, который пригласил Сеу для совместной записи песни ‘Tempo de Amor’ (вошедшей в альбом The Imagine Project), а также для дальнейшего участия в мировом концертном туре. А в 2011 году Сеу вместе с современными исполнителями Apollo Nove и NASA записала песню ‘It’s a Long Way’ специально для благотворительной организации Red Hot Organization, занимающейся борьбой со СПИДом и помощью ВИЧ-инфицированным людям.
Свой десятилетний юбилей на музыкальном олимпе Сеу отпразновала выпуском первого в своей карьере концертного диска Céu Live, изданного вначале октября 2015 года на популярном лейбле Six Degrees Records. Кроме переработок известных хитов с альбомов CéU (2005), Vagarosa (2009) и Caravana Sereia Bloom (2012), которые принесли Сеу мировую известность, на диске звучат ранее не издававшаяся кавер-версии классических бразильских песен. Запись концерта, проходившего в родном городе певицы Сан-Паулу, происходила в необычайно тёплой (и не только в температурном режиме) обстановке, при активной поддержке публики. «Химия, возникающая во время концерта между членами группы, — признаётся Сеу, – в действительности является своего рода алхимией, что ощущается во всём, однако чтобы осознать магию происходящего нужно чувствовать связь с аудиторией».

Céu is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, born in São Paulo, Brazil. Originally issued in 2005 on the São Paulo-based Urban Jungle, Céu’s self-titled debut album was picked up by Six Degrees/Starbucks/Hear Music in the US and UK; JVC in Japan and Harmonia Mundi in France and in the Netherlands.
Céu received a Latin Grammy nomination for “best new artist” of 2006 and a Grammy nomination for "Best Contemporary World Music Album" of 2007. On the same year, Céu performed at the opening ceremony of the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro.
In 2008, Céu received a Grammy nomination for “Best Contemporary World Music Album” for her debut album Céu. In 2009, her critically acclaimed second album Vagarosa reached #2 on the US Billboard's World Music charts. The album has since been nominated for a 2010 Latin Grammy for Best Contemporary Brazilian Pop Record. Céu reached unprecedented chart numbers for a Brazilian female artist—#1 on Billboard's Heatseekers (New Artist) Chart, 57 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on Billboard's World Music charts. In 2010, Céu was invited by Herbie Hancock to record a version of "Tempo de Amor" for The Imagine Project album. In 2012, Céu received her fourth Grammy nomination for “Best Contemporary Brazilian Pop Record” of 2012 for her critically acclaimed third album “Caravana Sereia Bloom”. In 2014, she released her first live DVD/CD in Brazil entitled "Céu - Ao Vivo", the concert was filmed in August 2014 in São Paulo and contains 15 tracks in total, including the never before released cover versions of all time classics "Piel Canela" and "Mais Uma Noite de Amor", behind the scenes footage of the band and more. Céu - Ao Vivo also includes live versions of Céu's greatest hits, "Lenda", "Malemolência", "10 Contados", "Cangote" and "Baile de Ilusão".

Céu Returns Home to Record Her First Live Album
To celebrate her tenth year in music, Brazil’s Céu performed in her home neighborhood in São Paulo to enthusiastic praise. The resulting 15-song, Live (Six Degrees Records) is a brilliant journey through her first three albums, all of which have helped make her an international star.
“The fans here in Brazil were always asking for a live show,” says Céu of the performance, which took place at the Centro Cultural Rio Verde in the center of the Vila Madalena neighborhood. “I wanted a place that captures the proximity and has the aesthetics of Caravana Sereia Bloom. Cozy, you know? I wanted the audience to feel as if they were watching in their home, feeling as if they were a part of the performance.”
With four Grammy nominations, numerous appearances on the Billboard charts (including reaching #1 on the World Music charts) and performing at Coachella all behind her, Live arrives at a perfect juncture in Céu’s career: as she readies her fourth studio album, while looking back and recognizing how beloved a live performer she’s become over her decade-long career.
Céu’s third album Caravana Sereia Bloom (which was dedicated to the open sky on long road trips) provides the live album with the opening ‘Falta Da Ar.’ She switches between English and Portuguese during the slow, melodic intro before the drums and bass kick into tempo—and the singer is off and running.
She stays in her sweet spot, between high energy and subdued & seductive—the sound that made her a star when Six Degrees released her debut worldwide in partnership with Starbuck’s Hear Music label—for the entire hour-plus of music. New guitar and keyboard textures are added to one of her few English-language songs, ‘Streets Bloom,’ without losing a bit of the sing-along, dubby vibe of the original.
While for this performance Céu replicated the blueprint of her Caravana tour, she used this opportunity to reinvigorate older material as well. ‘Malemolência,’ from her self-titled debut, is a mid-tempo gem of a song proving that Céu is a singer of syllables: she effortlessly glides across language to create harmonies, this being perhaps one of her most popular examples.
Also from her debut comes ‘Lenda’ and Live’s closer, ‘Rainha.’ Then there’s her cover of Bob Marley’s ‘Concrete Jungle.’ The original recording is minimal, acoustic; here guitarist Dustan Gallas gets to stretch out, while Lucas Martins effortlessly floats across Family Man Barrett’s unforgettable bass line. Reggae has long had its influence on Céu both personally and musically and her take on this Marley classic has long been a crowd favorite.
Live is as much about the band as it is about Céu herself. Determined to not merely replicate her records, the musician’s input makes this record a complete group effort. “I like to see the musicians from the band having ideas and exchanging material,” she says. “It means that they are involved with the work.”
The band—rounded out by drummer Bruno Buarque and DJ Marco—comes alive during a cover of Pepeu Gomes’s hit, ‘Mil e Uma Noites de Amor,’ which Céu has never recorded before. “It is a song that I simply love,” she says, “It’s part of my life. The way Pepeu plays the guitar is brilliant and so Brazilian. We started to perform it for a festival in Recife and never stopped.”
Céu’s second album, Vagarosa, is featured here with ‘Grains de Beauté,’ the crowd jumping right in to offer background vocal support. The audience is as much a part of this recording as anyone on stage. According to the singer, this is crucial for her success.
“The chemistry that happens between band members is a kind of alchemy that you can feel,” she says, ‘but to really make it happen I need to feel connected to the audience.”
That isn’t too hard a challenge in a city as musical as São Paulo, where she has lived her entire life. “Everybody comes to São Paulo—it’s the city that has more places to perform live and more opportunities than any other in Brazil.”
Now that her first three albums have been captured live, Céu is excited to return to the studio. While she’s not certain which musical direction she’ll be heading in, one thing is for sure: “What I know for now is that I am going back to the beats. Not just acoustic drums.”
