Click the play button to listen
The Brazilian pianist Amaro Freitas doesn't just perform pieces—he creates an atmosphere. A pilgrimage to the Amazon inspired his recent music, and his solo set translates that experience into sound: rainforest textures, ritual movements, and the feeling of two mighty rivers converging and flowing as one. "I create a unique approach to music in my concerts," he says. "I have my sound engineer's support during the performance... I craft moments using loops, small flutes, instruments from the Amazon, and special effects on the piano. I use a lot of delay and reverb, along with many effects on my voice... It's so beautiful!Playlist
