Come sway to the Bossa Nova metric masterfully performed by Mafalda Minnozzi and guitarist Paul Ricci, from Italy, to Rio, through NYC, now on the Blue Bamboo Stage!

Italian born Mafalda Minnozzi, has a story of a lifetime of cultural exchange that has earned her the "Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy" from Italy's president Sergio Mattarella. Her trajectory from 1996, as performer to recording artist to even a television personality in Brazil, comes full circle on her Bossa Nova flavored release RIOFONIC, which was the number one played female vocal album on the 2025 year-end JazzWeek Top 100 radio chart.
