London-based Brazilian drummer and music producer Naná Rizinni presents her new album "Maracujá Azedo" ("Sour Passion Fruit"). Produced during lockdown and featuring musicians from all over the world, "Maracujá Azedo" started being written in São Paulo, where Rizinni is originally from, and was finished in London, where she currently lives. The album is the result of a new perspective regarding her approach to drums and will be released by Brazilian record label Umbilical. Rizinni's drumming skills made her a sought after player amongst Brazilian and international acts such as Tiê, Jaloo, Johnny Hooker, Ana Cañas, Paulo Miklos, Lucy Alves and Vive La Fête. After focusing on producing and working as a session drummer for a few years, Naná felt the call for starting a new solo project. This was reinforced by a period of intense drum studies under the supervision of Brazilian master Lilian Carmona, who Naná reached out to in 2016 and whose influence would come to elevate her perception of the instrument and its potential as a compositional tool.
