ELLA AND THE BOSSA BEAT is a distinctive musical project where two generations unite through a singular artistic vision. At its core is the creative partnership between Magrus Borges (drums and percussion) and Ella Blu (vocals, piano, and keyboards)—father and daughter connected by a profound musical chemistry and a shared commitment to reimagining Brazilian music through a contemporary, globally minded lens. Their collaboration embodies a dialogue between experience and emerging artistry. Ella Blu is quickly establishing herself as a compelling new voice in contemporary jazz, while Magrus Borges brings decades of international acclaim, including a Grammy nomination and performances alongside iconic artists such as Astrud and Bebel Gilberto, Grace Jones, Shakira, Caetano Veloso, and Johnny Alf. “AMARE,” produced by Magrus Borges and Luciano Cantone and released by the Milan-based label Schema Records, represents the duo’s most ambitious and fully realized work to date. The album features ten original compositions written by Ella Blu and Magrus Borges, with lyrics by Ella Blu and Toco. Together, they craft a sophisticated musical language where jazz, Brazilian rhythms, and modern pop aesthetics blend seamlessly, enriched by subtle electronic textures and an unmistakable melodic elegance. The involvement of Brazilian singer-songwriter Toco, whose artistic sensibility bridges Brazilian tradition and European musical culture, deepens the album’s emotional and stylistic palette, reinforcing its balance between heritage and contemporary expression.
