Created with mySpace Profile EditorCreated with mySpace Profile EditorFernanda Fachinetti is a young artist from the Brazilian musical scenery who takes a dive deep into her own roots in order to find her musical identity. In her research she openly flirts with Bossa Nova, which, according to her is what her country has best to offer. Directly influenced by João Gilberto’s work, Fernanda uses her natural voice to interpret her compositions in a soft, cool and intimate way. Being a composer as well she is aware of the need to find rich harmonization and beautiful melodies. The lyrics of her songs translate her emotions, feelings and perceptions of the city in which she was born and raised: Salvador in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Her losses, lost loves and life experiences are also a source of inspiration for the beautiful soulful lyrics of all her love songs. Fachinetti started to study Bossa Nova in 2004 with the great musician and maestro Aderbal Duarte who is an expert on João Gilberto's work. During the last three years she sang as vocalist with the Afro band and Carnival entity known as Cortejo Afro which she believes is another type of school, rich in cultural aspects. To her a great experience that has given the possibility to get in contact with different types of rhythm as well as with artits such Cetano Veloso, Gerônimo and Daniela Mercury. Due to this cultural and melodic mix she has developed a personal, authentic, and unique musical work, called "baiana" that she is presenting here.Created with mySpace Profile EditorCreated with mySpace Profile Editor
