Adriano Adewale Trio - Friday 09 July
Time: 20:00
St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace
Adriano Adewale will be joined by two special guests: fellow Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Marcelo Andrade and composer and guitarist Jonathan Preiss on 7-string acoustic guitar (Cartinga).
Together they will perform a special concert exploring the work of 20th century Afro-Brazilian composer Pixinguinha. Living in Rio de Janeiro, Pixinguinha’s compositions were mainly in a style known as Chorinho and he was one of the first composers to incorporate Jazz and Improvisation in Brazilian music. Chorinho has many similarities to Baroque music, but with a distinctly Brazilian rhythm and flavour.
Passionate, virtuoso, challenging, charming and fun, this concert will communicate the essence of Brazilian music. Featuring Adriano Adewale (percussion/xylophone), Marcelo Andrade (Flutes and Sax) and Jonathan Preiss (7 string acoustic gu itar).
"Adewale gave an extraordinary performance." Jazzwise
"The vibe is exhilarating." **** Manchester Evening New
