Sérgio Sayeg aka Sessa, is a Sao Paolo native with time served in New York. Armed with a nylon string guitar and sweet voice he’s got a soft spot for fusing the sounds of his homeland in back to the future Tropicalia fashion. This is Brazilian music through and through, albeit with a functioning stoner vibe and some cool twists and turns.

Sweet string laden bossas, percussive grooving jazz dancers, guitar strummed free spirited orchestral folk, samba soul for the lovers rather than the fighters, microdosed bossa and jazz vocal dreaminess, it’s all there. Winter warming has never been so energy efficient, and big up as always to Mexican Summer his label.
