About Me |
|
| Empezó tocando la guitarra a los 9 anos, el piano a los 17, el bajo eléctrico a los 20, y la percusión a los 26. Simultaneo todos los instrumentos, aunque fue como percusionista que alcanzo madurez musical. Explica ese multi-instrumentalismo como una necesidad organica de producir musica y de mirar la musica desde puntos de vista distintos, para asi tener una vision lo mas global posible. Estudio en la Academia de Amadores de Musica de Lisboa, y en la Escola de Jazz do Hot Club de Portugal. Pero su mayor escuela fue tocar todos los generos que pudo, con todos los musicos que pudo. Asi, durante casi 25 anos, toco musica tradicional portuguesa, brasilena, marroqui, angolena, caboverdiana, mozambiquena, flamenco, rock, jazz, pop, contemporanea y fado. Durante ese largo camino toco con nombres como Dulce Pontes, Fausto, Ivan Lins, Max Roach, Chico César, Jordi Bonell, Barbara Togander, Né Ladeiras, Laurent Filipe, Axel Krieger, Flávia Virginia, Dafnis Prieto, Pablo Shvarzmann, Sara Tavares, Paulo de Carvalho, Shuarma, los grupos Kyrie, El Cholo, Los Elefantes, Bazaar, Orkestina, La Media Luna y Ala dos Namorados, entre muchisimos otros. Tambien trabajo durante 10 anos como compositor y produtor musical para publicidad y en la creacion de bandas sonoras para documentales y cortometrajes. En 1998, Sonymusic Portugal le contrato para dar cuerpo al proyecto Cantigas de Amigos, donde se encargo de los arreglos y producion de canciones tradicionales portuguesas, y la direccin musical de 41 personas, entre ellas muchos nombres sonantes portugueses como Luis Represas y Maria João. Luego, trasladandose a vivir a Barcelona, co-produjo junto con Mariano Martos y Valent Adell, el disco de Mariano Martos, Un Compas Antes Que Suene El Despertador. En la actualidad, trabaja con el grupo de Mariano Martos, Triando y con el grupo La Rumbé. Asi mismo, sigue como produtor, compositor de bandas sonoras (ultimamente para danza contemporánea, para las coreógrafas Susana Gaspar y Conceição Nunes), y como profesor de guitarra, bajo y percusion. He started out playing the guitar at 9, piano at 17, electric bass at 20 and percussion at 26. Although he never left any of those instruments behind, he caught everybody's eye as a percussionist. He explains that multi-instrumentalism as an organic need to produce music, and to look at music from other perspectives, with the goal of having the globalest view possible. He attended the Academia de Amadores de Musica de Lisboa, and the Jazz School of Hot Club de Portugal. But his real school was playing as much as he could, as much different genres he could, with as much musicians he could. So, during nearly 25 years he played Portuguese traditional, Brazilian, Moroccan, Angolan, Capeverdian and Mozambican music, as well as flamenco, rock, jazz, pop, contemporary and fado. During that long journey he played with Dulce Pontes, Fausto, Ivan Lins, Max Roach, Chico Cesar, Jordi Bonell, Barbara Togander, Ne Ladeiras, Laurent Filipe, Axel Krieger, Flavia Virginia, Dafnis Prieto, Pablo Shvarzmann, Sara Tavares, Paulo de Carvalho, Shuarma, as well as bands like Kyrie, El Cholo, Los Elefantes, Bazaar, Orkestina, La Media Luna and Ala dos Namorados, among many, many others. He also worked for 10 years as musical producer and composer for advertisement and soundtracks for documentaries and shortfilms. In 1998, Portuguese Sonymusic hired him to produce, arrange and direct the project Cantigas de Amigos, featuring top Portuguese musicians and singers like Luis Represas and Maria João, around Portuguese traditional songs. Right after that, he moved to Barcelona (Spain), and joined Valenti Adell and Argentinean flamenco bassist Mariano Martos, to co-produce Martos's debut record Un Compas Antes Que Suene El Despertador. Right now, he's working with Martos's group, Triando and La Rumbé, and also continues his work as a producer and soundtrack composer/producer ( particulary for contemporary dance, for choreographers such as Susana Gaspar and Conceição Nunes), as well as guitar, bass and percussion teacher. plain layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments |
