“Tocando a Vida” by Cassio Vianna is an exuberant instrumental gem that bridges the rhythmic soul of Brazil with the sophistication of jazz big band. Taken from his acclaimed album Vida, the track delivers an irresistible samba groove, rich in color and movement, that feels equally at home on a dance floor or a jazz aficionado’s playlist.

From the first bar, “Tocando a Vida” sweeps you into its vibrant energy, layered percussion, syncopated horn lines, and fluid harmonic transitions that speak to Vianna’s masterful arranging. The standout presence of legendary saxophonist Eric Marienthal adds a glowing solo voice to the ensemble’s dynamic landscape, giving the track extra sparkle and depth.

There’s a perfect balance it strikes between technical brilliance and joyful expression. The jazz orchestra is tight and expressive, offering just enough room for groove and spontaneity without ever losing focus. It’s no wonder All About Jazz called Vida one of the year’s foremost big band albums—“Tocando a Vida” is a shining reason why.
