Music For Dreams

Sha & Copenema - Essência (Acoustic Live)

Copenema & Sha present Acoustic Live

Featuring live reinterpretations of selected songs from the two albums, Deixa a Música Tocar and Hoje. Each new recording accompanied by a music video of Rodrigo’s live performance.

Led by award-winning Brazilian singer and multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo Sha, Copenema & Sha is a collaborative project that travels a route from Rio de Janeiro to Copenhagen, creating a sunlit world of samba-tinged Balearica. Warm harmonies and vibrant rhythms meet Sha’s unique Carioca voice and uplifting vocals, now stripped back to highlight the emotional core of each composition.

Recorded live in an acoustic setting, the album captures the chemistry and creative dialogue that define the collective’s sound, bringing listeners closer to the songs themselves.

“Making acoustic versions brings the audience closer to the essential core of the music,” says Rodrigo Sha. “It’s about connection, energy, and the space where our sounds meet and breathe.”

Acoustic Live is both a celebration of Copenema & Sha’s recent catalog and an invitation into a more intimate listening and viewing experience—where voice, melody, and feeling take center stage.
