A reunion: 20 years after their first album together, the Brazilian songwriter Danilo Guilherme from Fortaleza and the Berlin singer Dota Kehr (more than 7 million Spotify plays, the last two albums in the top ten of the German album charts) meet again. Together they write songs that reflect their shared history and capture the present. Together with guitarist Regis Damasceno (who has already recorded with artists such as Arnaldo Antunes, Tom Zé, Maria Bethânia and live with Gal Costa, Beto Guedes, Vanessa da Matta and Céu, among others) and drummer Ayla Lemos, they have created an exciting and contemporary album entitled "Fortaleza", which combines MPB (musica popular do brasil) with a modern sound and picks up on the roots of the musicians involved in Ceará and Berlin.
The first collaboration between Danilo and Dota was "Mittelinselurlaub" in 2003, an album that left its mark both in Fortaleza and in Berlin. The album "Schall und Schatten", which Dota recorded together with Regis and on which guitarist Fernando Catatau and the well-known singer Chico Cesár can be heard as musical guests, was created in Sao Paulo in 2008.
The new album "De repente Fortaleza" will be released in summer 2024. Here, too, the well-known Chico Cesár does the honors and once again sings a duet with Dota Kehr.
