Following an intensive world tour celebrating her Latin Grammy-nominated debut album Pique, Brazilian virtuoso Dora Morelenbaum presents a special, stripped-back live recording of herself and long-time collaborator Guilherme Lirio.
The intimate session entitled Ao Vivo no Rio captures Dora in back-to-basics fashion - just two guitars, two voices, a drum machine, and some effects pedals. Alongside showcasing standout songs from Pique and Dora's 'Vento de Beirada' EP, the set list features exclusives, including a crowd favourite cover version of Bobby Charles' 'I Must Be in a Good Place Now' and Guilherme's adaptation and arrangement of a traditional Brazilian folk song 'Umbuesara'. Elsewhere you'll find a cover version of Joao Donato's 'Ate Quem Sabe' off his much- loved and heralded 'Quem E Quem' record. It's a snapshot into the two-person setup that Dora utilises when the full band line-up isn't possible.
Recorded at Estudio Guanabara in Rio de Janeiro on 1st March 2026, Ao Vivo no Rio sees Dora return home amongst friends and family. Bala Desejo bandmate Lucas Nunes joins on recording and mixing duties with the aid of Leo Marques. The session is a breathtaking reflection of Dora's natural, unfiltered, angelic musical talent, showcased through a well- toned and rehearsed duo gelling with perfection from playing these tracks night after night on tour. Adapting the songs for an intimate format, the guitars find new voices. String sections are reimagined with plucked reverberating guitar playing as on opening track 'Pique', synth lines become delicate interplay between guitar melodies like on 'Talvez (As Cancoes)'. Each track takes on a new feel and flavour. Many move into more ethereal realms, such as 'Do a Do'. This is Dora at her most sublime, evoking a melancholic yet soothing and calming lullaby. Others though, like 'Sim, Nao' with its crunchy drum machine hits, still ride the grooving energy of the original, feeling like a DIY demo version.
On tour, no two nights will be the same; the songs keep evolving and developing according to the mood of the musicians and the environment in which these songs are played. It comes to a climax on the recording at the end of 'Petricor' when the percussion and strings of the same guitar are played simultaneously, using a loop pedal to build the track as it unfolds.
On 'I Must Be in a Good Place Now', Dora and Guilherme sing in English on this unique cover version of an obscure and beautiful song by Bobby Charles from 1972. Dora has also made Joao Donato's 'Ate Quem Sabe' feel like one of her own.
Ao Vivo no Rio spotlights Dora as one of the cream of the Brazilian contemporary wave in full flight and swagger. It also features artwork and design by Dora's friend and regular artistic collaborator, Maria Cau Levy (aka M-Cau).
