Deborah Rocha
Deborah Rocha is a songwriter, guitarist and vocalist. Her music has been greatly influenced by American Songbook music from the decades 1920-50, by Brazilian music, and by science - things like particles, pendulums, microbiomes, and such. Deborah learned all about Brazilian music and language from her husband, Giovani, and then she turned around and taught Giovani how to follow her guitar playing. And together they have been making sweet music for over decade. As an artist, it is Deborah's main goal to bring Brazilian music to a larger audience, to show through the music what we all have in common. As a songwriter, she creates poetically faithful translations of Brazilian lyrics into English, and she composes original songs which are heavily influenced by the rhythms, melodies, and harmonies of Brazilian music.
