Singer-songwriter Daniela Soledade, a true gem of the Tampa Bay jazz scene, recorded her sophomore album in Brazil, and she brings it home on Friday, Aug. 19 for a St. Petersburg release show.

Joining Soledade at Palladium Theater’s Hough Hall are bossa icon Roberto Menescal, Latin Grammy and Grammy-nominated pianist Antonio Adolfo (“Sá Marina”), as well as guitarist Nate Najar with whom she co-wrote many of the lyrics.
Pretty World, released earlier this month, continues Soledade’s run as a third-generation Brazilian music artist and pays homage to her grandfather Paulo with a take on an unrecorded song of his, “Circo da Vida.” Optimism and positive love are tenets of the release, but Soledade is focused on keeping the family tradition alive.

“If we stopped playing songs we could lose them forever,” she said.
