Brazilian-flavored sassy uptempo song featuring gorgeous vocals by Barbara Mendes and live strings arranged by jazz legend Eumir Deodato.

You may remember the beautiful vocals featured on François K.’s remix of “Mes Vacances à Rio” by Rhinocerose. Now, Francois K. and Barbara Mendes team up again to bring you “Awakening”: a classic, deep, jazzy masterpeice with gorgeous Brazilian vocals and live instrumentation. “Awakening” features a full string ensemble, led and arranged by the legendary musical composer, arranger, and musician Eumir Deodato (also Brazilian). Terry Burrus, a born and raised New York musician, with a deep-rooted, diverse background in Jazz, Soul, Gospel, Electronic, and Classical music contributes his signature keys and is the associate producer. These rare elements, combined with the building percussion, beautiful melodies, and classic François K. production, offer a musical experience that will not be forgotten. An added bonus is the Percapella, functioning as an excellent DJ tool.
