Sessa (BR)

Brazilian artist Sessa performs at Nefertiti on 3 October. With roots in São Paulo and an artistic journey through New York, he has developed a sound where Brazilian musical tradition meets global influences - samba, soul, jazz and rock in a single mix.

Inspired by the Brazilian Tropicalia movement, Sessa builds his music around nylon-string guitar, Afro-Brazilian percussion and his distinctive voice in dialogue with vocal arrangements.

On his latest album Pequena Vertigem de Amor, the sonic palette expands with new instruments and a more nocturnal, playful feel. The lyrics explore change, intimacy and life's major turning points - including the experience of becoming a parent.
