SORTE!
“Sorte!” is the title track of the 2020 Grammy® nominated album in Best Latin Jazz. It marks the first collaboration between Latin Grammy and Grammy nominated composer John Finbury and Afro-Brazilian singer-songwriter-actress Thalma de Freitas, whose early co-writing credits include Brazilian household names like João Donato and Céu.
