Hamilton de Holanda Trio Jobim Brazil

We thank: Embassy of Brazil

Virtuosic, brilliant and unique – those are some of the adjectives used to describe Hamilton de Holanda who sets world audiences ablaze, developing a career studded with awards.

Hamilton de Holanda uses the past 14 years establishing a technique reinventing the 10 string Mandolin. He compose 24 Caprices for mandolin and disentangled this emblematic Brazilian instrument from the legacy of some of its influences and styles, to make it a global instrument. In the US, the press soon dubbed him the “Jimi Hendrix of bandolim”.

The young pianist and composer Salomão Soares, who was one of the finalists in the solo piano competition of the Montreaux Jazz Festival in 2017, and the drummer and producer Thiago Big Rabelo, who has performed with many Brazilian musicians, will play at Jazzkaar. The trio’s program includes the ever-green music of the bossa nova worldwide popularizer and the absolute classic, Antonio Carlos Jobim. The songs loved by all jazz lovers get virtuoso and novel sounds and will definitely bring summer notes to the cool spring winds.
