Indigenous People
Joan Reinders
Bleeding Amazonia Part 3: Indigenous People by Joan Reinders highlights the struggles and resilience of the Indigenous communities of the Amazon. Featuring Lucas Santana on tenor saxophone and Suzan Veneman on flugelhorn, the piece blends jazz with Brazilian rhythms to convey the urgent message of preservation. The Millennium Jazz Orchestra, with a dynamic rhythm section including Dirk Balthaus, Bart Tarenskeen, and Felix Schlarmann, provides a powerful backdrop, while rich brass and woodwinds evoke the strength and spirit of Indigenous peoples. Recorded at Wisseloord Studios in 2021.
