MUITO À VONTADE: TRIBUTO A JOÃO DONATO — SALOMÃO SOARES QUINTETO
Press release

Muito à Vontade: Tributo a João Donato celebrates the music and the light, swinging, inventive spirit of João Donato. The set moves through classics and lesser-known gems by the master from Acre, brought to life in new arrangements and with the freedom to improvise that always defined his music.

The repertoire includes classics such as A Paz (written by Donato with Gilberto Gil), Não Tem Nada Não, Lugar Comum and Flor de Maracujá, alongside new arrangements that also bring out lesser-known pieces by the composer.

On stage, Salomão Soares (piano) is joined by Josué dos Santos (saxophone), Thiago Alves (double bass), Ivan Castro (drums) and Guegué Medeiros (percussion), brought together to celebrate one of the great names of Brazilian music. The project led to the album "...e Muito Mais", in production (2026).

A night celebrating the lightness, the swing and the musical freedom that João Donato always inspired. All very much at ease, as it should be.
