Amaro Freitas (BR)

The Brazilian jazz scene has another rising star: Amaro Freitas, hailing from the cultural melting-pot of Recife. Amaro fuses a Thelonious Monk like jazz with his own musical roots, such as regional styles of Afro-Brazilian maracatu or the carnival sounds of frevo and baião. He explores forgotten stories, ancient philosophies, and inspirational figures of Black Brazil. Experimental and ready to challenge the traditional structures of jazz, Amaro Freitas has a sound that will let you discover the piano in a new way. “When he sat at the piano time stopped. He played and played, each note growing, birthing new possibilities, stories within stories. The range of execution and emotive dynamism left me full of light.” (Christian Scott)
