Bridges to Rio mixes Russian and Brazilian songs into a Samba Jazz aesthetic. This CD was recorded live for mostly Russian natives in New York in 2019. Singer Irina Zubareva and pianist Misha Tsiganov, both from St. Petersburg, Russia, but now living in New York, invited two brilliant Brazilian musicians to their duo format, bassist Itaiguara Brandao and drummer Portinho. - Kabir Sehgal, producer
