Brazilian-Born Guitar Duo Sérgio and Odair Assad Explore Their Lebanese Roots on Concert Tour
Brazilian-born guitar duo Sérgio and Odair Assad are delving deeper into their roots in a series of live performances titled De Volta as Raizes (Back to our Roots). The concerts examine the brothers' ancestral roots in Lebanon, following the success of Sérgio's Latin Grammy-winning composition "Tahhiyya li ossoulina," off their most recent Nonesuch release, Jardim abandonado. They'll be joined by pianist/singer/composer Clarice Assad, percussionist Jamey Haddad, and Lebanese singer Christiane Karam in an exploration of the ties between the musics of the Middle East and Brazil.
About this Album
On their Nonesuch debut, the Assads interpret Astor Piazzolla and other Latin American composers and perform original pieces by Sérgio Assad. The Washington Post calls the duo “the best two-guitar team in existence, maybe even in history.”
