I Wish To See Them LIVE!



Brazilian singer Glaucia Nasser & percussionist Sammy Figueroa 


Sammy Figueroa & Glaucia Nasser

“Talisman” featuring Sammy Figueroa and Glaucia Nasser,  is a perfect balance between the exciting Latin percussion of double Grammy nominee and renowned musician Sammy Figueroa (Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, David Bowie, Mariah Carey and many more) and Brazilian singer Glaucia Nasser. "Like peanut butter and chocolate" this combination of Brazilian song and Latin percussion comes out as a surprising and tasty combination
Percussionist Sammy Figueroa is considered one of the world’s great musicians. In a career spanning over thirty years he has played with Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, the Brecker Brothers, Mariah Carey, David Bowie, John McLaughlin, Arturo Sandoval, Paquito D’Rivera, Chaka Khan, Blues Traveler, Ashford and Simpson, Natalie Merchant and countless others. He has also co-produced several albums, most notably the Cuban a cappella group Vocal Sampling.
His other group, Sammy Figueroa and his Latin Jazz Explosion, is one of the most exciting in jazz today. Known for their exciting performances, enhanced by Sammy’s ebullient humor , the band has recorded three albums, with two of them nominated for the Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album.

Glaucia has garnered critical praise from notable names of Brazilian music, such as Nelson Motta, Roberto Menescal and Ivan Lins.  Glaucia’s four previous albums have been extremely well received by the media and fans alike.  Her extensive concerts and world tours have built a fantastic following. 
Talisman means good luck charm, amulet, a symbol with magical powers.   We chose Nicolas Roerich's Banner of Peace symbol as our talisman because, among other things, it symbolizes the three of us, Sammy, Glaucia and Rachel, who had the good luck to come together to make magic in the recording studio.
