LippiReissue by Polysom (Brazil, 2017) João Donato's Quem É Quem (1973) is a quintessential album that captures Donato’s distinctive style, blending jazz, bossa nova, and samba with an experimental, groove-oriented approach. Known for his mastery on the piano and his subtle vocal style, Donato crafted an album that is celebrated both in Brazil and internationally for its light, refreshing sound and rhythmic innovation.

He fuses bossa nova’s cool sophistication with jazz’s improvisational freedom, all while infusing the music with samba's rhythmic pulse.
