Fabiano Do Nascimento & Vittor Santos Orchestra
Vila
Far Out Recordings
Brazil/USA/UK, 2026
LP

Exquisite compositions for guitar and 16-piece orchestra inspired by a courtyard surrounded by Neo-colonial houses in the Rio De Janeiro neighborhood where Fabiano do Nascimento grew up. Centered around his warm, fluid guitar playing, these tunes become something else entirely in the hands of collaborator Vittor Santos. His arrangements are as sumptuous as they are restless and searching, in constant dialogue with Nascimento—a conversation that is endlessly subtle, witty, and humane. Vila could be a lost gem from the ‘70s if it weren’t for its pristine sound quality. Timeless music. A lovely early-spring surprise.
