TOCO Vinyl & CDs

Review: Schema Records presents Riviera, Toco's anticipated album, on vinyl here and coming a decade since Memoria. Riviera showcases diverse influences and meticulous production across a serious of lush and soothing jazz sounds with a Latin bent. With collaborations and guest appearances, including label-mate Gianluca Petrella, the album pays homage to Toco's roots: Sao Paulo's Riviera neighbourhood and Italy's Riviera Ligure. It embodies his songwriting, blending pop, lyricism, and uplifting emotions and draws from samba and bossa nova traditions. Reflecting on childhood memories and cultural fusion, Riviera offers a musical mosaic of joy and pain and captures another fine artistic evolution from Toco.
