Context
On April 12, 2019, Brazilian architecture makes room for a Portuguese big band in Matosinhos. The exhibition Infinito Vão brings other art forms together at Casa da Arquitectura, and Zuza Homem de Mello turns this encounter into a concert. The program brings together Brazilian compositions, commissioned arrangements, and a guest appearance by Kiko Freitas.
At Tanoaria, Pedro Guedes leads Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos, with Carlos Azevedo on piano and Demian Cabaud on double bass. Kiko takes the drum chair alongside Pancho on percussion. Saxophones, trumpets, and trombones give shape to scores by Antonio Adolfo, Mario Adnet, Nelson Ayres, Nailor Proveta, and Letieres Leite.
The project does not end that night. In 2024, Músicas Brasileiras, Músicos Portugueses receives a double-CD and digital release through CARA and Biscoito Fino, with a different lineup and Gabi Guedes among the guests. The release pays tribute to Zuza after his death; the filmed concert preserves an earlier stage of this collaboration between the two countries.
- Kiko Freitas takes the drum chair as a special guest, under the musical direction of Pedro Guedes.
