Their passionate cry for world music environment, lyricism and virtuosity, from Bach to flamenco and Celtic and African, the two old partners now bring a special set of pieces composed and arranged for the duo.
Vitor Lopes & Emiliano Castro have an musical approach that unites the elegance and concentration of chamber music with the joy, swing and improvisation reminiscent from Brazilian ‘rodas de choro’.
After working a vast repertoire of ‘Choros’ and Brazilian composers like Heitor Villa-Lobos, Paulo Moura and Cesar Camargo Mariano, the duo now presents a new original repertoire with themes composed by the duo, in addition to two pieces commissioned to Chico Saraiva and Alessandro Penezzi - musical partners and old friends.
Their new CD is going to be released by ÁguaForte label (www.aguaforte.org) in the first quarter of 2015.
