Azymuth are back! With Fênix, their first album in five years, the Brazilian mavericks have recreated the energy of those spellbinding seventies’ sessions which would launch them into international recognition and confirm their status as one of Brazil’s most successful bands. It's a ten-track journey through the full spectrum of Azymuth’s brilliantly coloured expressionist fusion, with all the cosmic energy and masterful musicianship you’d expect from the world's greatest three-man orchestra... Azymuth rise from the ashes!
Since the passing of keyboard maestro Jose Roberto Bertrami in 2012, remaining members Ivan Conti (centre) and Alex Malheiros (left) have worked tirelessly to keep the spirit of Azymuth alive, and to continue the legacy of Bertrami’s genius. But Fênix also marks a new era as the Azymuth trio is complete once again, by special guest keyboardist Kiko Continentino. A hugely talented pianist, composer and arranger, Kiko has worked with the likes of Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil and Djavan, and the fresh energy and inspiration he has brought to the group is undeniable. The album also features Brazilian percussion legend Robertinho Silva.
EXCLUSIVE ALERT! If you can't wait for the album's release in December, we're pressing a one-off run of 300 hand-stamped and hand-numbered Fênix white label LPs, which will come housed in the finished sleeve (pictured above). This super-limited, priceless piece of Azymuth history will be available exclusively at the shows on the tour, over a month ahead of the official release date.

Most of my favorites like Azymuth probably don’t tour the U.S. at all or rare occasions. But, Azymuth would do well coming to Denver Colorado. It would be a sell-out. We have great venues here.
as I am a great fan since 40 years the session in the Bayrischer Hof was really legendary !!!—
had some funnnnnn !!!
Making the trip from Belgium to one of the shows shouldn’t be that difficult … maybe see you on one of those Dimi ;-) … coming from Belgium myself and about to see the London show ;-)
id love to see them in belgium! :(
