AMARO FREITAS TRIO

Like a kind of Brazilian blend of Thelonious Monk, Abdullah Ibrahim and Chick Corea, Amaro Freitas transforms the piano into a melodic percussion instrument – filled with the sound of Pernambuco, northeast Brazil, music born out of both slavery and carnival. The story of the prodigy who could not afford his own instrument, but had to practise on random pianos or on imaginary keys at home, spread quickly – soon he was among the most sought-after pianists in northern Brazil. After four records and tours in Europe and the USA, the compositions have become increasingly complex, but always with firm roots in the Brazilian tradition.

Amaro Freitas delivered one of the best and most talked-about concerts at Nattjazz 2025, and it is a great pleasure to be able to present a new concert in Sardinen at USF Verftet with this fantastic piano trio.
