Brizzi do Brasil is a unique project which sees contemporary Italian classical composer Aldo Brizzi bringing together and arranging the talent of a virtual whos-who of contemporary Brazilian music.

For the first time, the biggest names in Brazilian music, stars like Caetano Veloso and Madre Deus vocalist Teresa Salgueiro, Gilberto Gil, Carlinhos Brown, Virginia Rodriguez and Tom Zé, collaborate in an intriguing, modern fusion which skillfully blends Brazilian popular music with world, avant garde and electronica.

Brizzi, in addition to his own compositions and releases, has conducted the strings of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and numerous other symphonies and orchestras worldwide and has worked with Ennio Morricone and John Cage.
He has chosen Salvador de Bahia in Brazil as his second home where he is a well respected author and composer.

The track "Misterio de Afrodite" has been also selected for the official UNICEF compilation promoted by the Audrey Hepburn children's Fund and due to be released this year to promote and raise funds for the international "All children in School" campaign.
