Grupo Falso Baiano: Simplicidade - Live at Yoshi's

AAJ Italy Staff By AAJ Italy Staff

View read count
Il Grupo Falso Baiano è attivo nell'area di San Francisco con la missione di far meglio conoscere fuori dal Brasile il choro, una musica popolare espressiva e verace che risale alla fine dell'ottocento. I musicisti si muovono con grande passione fra queste composizioni che profumano di energia popolare, andando meno a toccare le atmosfere raffinate e sofisticate della bossa nova e della samba.

Buona parte delle composizioni in scaletta arrivano dalla tradizione e da grandi compositori brasiliani come Nelson Cavaquinho, Norival Bahia, Jacob do Bandolim, Sivuca e altri. A completare il concerto vengono eseguiti alcuni brani firmati del pianista ospite Jovino Santos Neto, brasiliano vero. Diamo il via alle danze.

In occasione del concerto documentato in questo album, registrato al celebre Yoshi's di Oakland, il gruppo è allargato da quartetto a sestetto con l'aggiunta del pianoforte di Jovino Santos Neto e le percussioni di Brian Rice.
