Bio:
The culture of Pernambuco naturally overflows in this style of Amaro Freitas, a 27 year-old pianist and composer who is one of the newest and greatest revelations of Brazilian jazz.
Influenced by Capiba - the frevo master - Moacir Santos, Hermeto Pascoal and Gismonti, and also by great references of piano jazz like Monk, Jarrett and Corea, he released his debut album Sangue Negro in 2016 and immediately won over the critics.
On top of that he was awarded the MIMO Instrumental Award in 2016. Beyond the always - pre - dominant samba jazz , Amaro Freitas focuses on the northeastern culture and translates frevo, baião, maracatu, ciranda and maxixe into the language of jazz.
With a new contract with the London label Far Out, the pianist is on tour with is second album, Rasif.
