Amaro Freitas
TOURDATA
Kulturbezirk 2, 3100 St. Pölten
When Amaro Freitas plays the piano, you can hear the water flowing. In his spiritually resonant music, the jazz musician embarks on a fascinating-sounding quest for the roots of Afro-Brazilian culture.
Jazz/Afrobrasil Y’Y (pronounced: eey-eh, eey-eh) is a word from the language of the Sateré-Mawé, an indigenous people from the Brazilian Amazon region, and means "water" or "river." The pianist Amaro Freitas chose it as the title of his current album, which he sees as a tribute to the forest, particularly the Amazon rainforest, and to the rivers of Northern Brazil. His rhythmically striking compositions are inspired by Afro-Brazilian and indigenous musical cultures, but they also stand in the tradition of great jazz pianists like Thelonious Monk and Chick Corea.
