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.

▶ Brazil has something called "jeitinho" (zhay-TEEN-you), the "little way". In a land where the official way is often impossible, people get things done by other means.
▶ The matrix is jeitinho. It allows splendid Brazilian musicians to be discovered and accessed from everywhere. But to work for the Brazilians, it has to work for everyone.
▶ All explained inside the dot-defined window immediately below (curated artists below this window)... from Brazil, with love!
