This album celebrates my musical roots - samba, bossa nova, baiao - and the first time I sang on a real studio, 50 years ago ... I was just a high school student at an Ipanema nun's school, and a family friend, the great bossa nova composer Roberto Menescal, invited me to participate in an album he was producing, „Sambacana“, as the lead singer of a studio vocal quartet. My professional career would take some time to be launched, but this first experience was a turning point for me. I had discovered the reason for me to be in this planet. (Joyce)
Ganz trennen wird sich Joyce von ihrer Heimatstadt Rio de Janeiro und deren musikalischen Wurzeln im Samba und Bossa Nova nie. Doch nach beachtlichen 35 Jahren und 23 Alben im Musikzirkus steht es der bekanntesten Songwriterin, Sängerin und Gitarristin Brasiliens wohl zu, sich abseits des Zuckerhuts ein wenig umzusehen und neue Impulse in ihre Lieder einfließen zu lassen.
