A singer who moved from musical theater stages to covering standards with bossa nova touches.
For a good sense of his approach, try 'All I Ask of You' or 'Song For You.' They're both from that first album and show how he settles into a melody.
Boaventura's voice carries the discipline of church choirs and the dramatic training of musical theater. His version of 'All I Ask of You' shows how he handles show tunes with a smooth, intimate delivery. He's performed at Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House, but his recordings keep things close and personal.
He sang in church choirs as a child in Brazil, then played Tony in a Brazilian 'West Side Story' in 2004. His debut album 'Songs for You' arrived in 2008, featuring tracks like 'Song For You' that became repertoire staples. Since then he's worked as a solo artist with a backing band, covering standards and occasionally collaborating, like on 'Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps' with Carlos Rivera.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
