Jazzybelle Records present the first vinyl reissue of Introspection by Luiz Bonfà (1972, RCA International) officially licensed to Sony and remastered by Colorsound Studio, in Paris. This 1972 masterpiece is a virtuoso album blending classical technique and Brazilian rhythms. Luiz Bonfá (1922-2001) is one of Brazil's most influential guitarists and composers. An iconic figure of the bossa nova movement, he helped introduce Brazilian music to the world in the late 1950s and 1960s. Bonfá achieved international fame for his work on Black Orpheus, a film that won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Trained in classical guitar, he developed a highly personal style, combining technical precision with profound lyricism. His music bridges Brazilian rhythms, jazz harmonies, and classical sensibilities. Beyond his celebrated bossa nova works, albums like Introspection reveal a more intimate and introspective side of his art. First released in 1972, Introspection is considered one of Luiz Bonfá's finest and most accomplished recordings. Recorded almost entirely solo, the album reveals a rare intimacy, great precision, and intense emotional depth. Bonfá's virtuosity shines through in every note, blending classical technique with Brazilian rhythm with profound expressiveness. Long unavailable on vinyl, this reissue marks the first official release on this format in decades. Subtle, powerful, and timeless, Introspection stands as a quiet masterpiece of solo guitar music.
