Casa Concert zo 16 apr 2017 Trio Baru: DVD Release "Dez Anos"

Trio Baru
Guitarists Bosco Oliveira, Nelson Latif and percussionist Sandro Alves make up the new line-up of the Trio Baru, a group that has been touring many countries all around the world for the last eight years. The musicians have different musical backgrounds: Latif in the choro, Bosco in the Spanish flamenco and Sandro Alves in the Samba. In 2011 Trio Baru released their first album, called Alma Brasileira. In 2017,

Cavaquinho and acoustic guitar player Nelson Latif formed his musical identity in the legendary jazz scene of 1980's São Paulo. With roots in choro and jazz, Latif merges Brazilian styles and a classical guitar technique with diverse musical influences. In his melodic phrasing one hears bebop and Brazilian syncopations.

Latif started his studies at age fourteen. During the 90's he moved to Amsterdam and started performing on the cavaquinho, an instrument that has since become his trademark. Nelson Latif returned to Brazil in 2001, where he formed Trio Baru. Since then, Latif has performed as a soloist as well as in collaboration with various artists. As cultural promoter, Nelson Latif has been coordinating educational projects for universities and cultural institutions around the world.

João Bosco de Oliveira was born in Brasília in 1967, and started his guitar studies at the age of 8. He studied at Escola de Música de Brasília and the Universidade de Brasília - UNB, graduating in 1992. Bosco took part in several international guitar competitions and won four of them. He has performed in Brasília and other Brazilian cities, and always receives excellent reviews in the Brazilian press. Bosco Oliveira is the coordinator of the classic guitar department at the Escola de Música de Brasília, where he has been teaching since 1993.

The new lineup brings to the trio the Rio percussionist Sandro Alves, a musician known for joining "samba de raíz" with contemporary influences. Sandro is a researcher of the Brazilian folk culture, who based his musicality on the percussion instruments.

The musicians, from the good harvest of Brazilian instrumentalists of the 80s, can be seen more frequently in Brasília, where they live, or in the big cities of Brazil, Europe and the USA, in jazz and world music festivals.

In 2017, the trio performs the tour of launching their first DVD, titled Trio Baru, Ten Years. In the program, the musicians pay tribute to the great Brazilian composers interpreting themes that marked the trajectory of the trio.

Port
O Trio Baru é composto de três instrumentistas brasileiros, Nelson Latif, Bosco Oliveira e Sandro Alves. Nessa nova formação, o trio apresenta-se nos principais palcos brasileiros e do exterior. O grupo celebra o encontro de três músicos que dedicaram toda a carreira à música instrumental brasileira.

Os violonistas Latif e Bosco atuaram em palcos bem distantes nas duas últimas décadas, Bosco no Brasil, Latif na Europa, cada um seguindo uma trajetória: Latif encontrou no choro sua principal referência, Bosco, na música flamenca. Ambos têm formação acadêmica em violão erudito. A nova formação trás ao trio o percussionista carioca Sandro Alves, músico conhecido por unir o samba de raiz com com influências contemporâneas. Sandro é pesquisador da cultura folclórica brasileira, que fundamentou sua musicalidade nos instrumentos de percussão.

Os músicos, da boa safra de instrumentistas brasileiros da década de 80, podem ser vistos com mais freqüência atuando em Brasília, cidade onde residem, ou nas grandes cidades do Brasil, Europa e EUA, em festivais de jazz e world music.

Em 2017, o trio realiza a turnê de lançamento de seu primeiro DVD, intitulado Trio Baru, Dez Anos. No programa, os músicos prestam um tributo aos grandes compositores brasileiros interpretando temas que marcaram a trajetória do trio.
