Review by FELIX SANCHEZ

Love Brought Us Here is the latest album from the Brazilian jazz pianist and composer Rique Pantoja. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which showcase Pantoja's exceptional musicianship and unique style.

The album starts off with the title track "Love Brought Us Here," a beautiful ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Pantoja's piano playing is delicate and emotive, perfectly complemented by the warm and soulful vocals of guest singer Gretchen Parlato.

The album also features a number of instrumental tracks, such as "Samba Sincopado" and "Tango for Tito," which showcase Pantoja's virtuosic piano playing and his ability to blend different genres of music seamlessly.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Pantoja's cover of the classic Brazilian song "Aquarela do Brasil." Pantoja infuses the song with his own unique style, adding in elements of jazz and funk to create a fresh and modern take on the timeless classic.
