barbacute
Faithful to its meridional origins Barbacute, furthermore having a brazilian native aboard, has to have some of the beauty that exists in the sad joy of a chorinho.
And what about when a brasilian figures out Bach in his own unique way? Then we have Heitor Villa-Lobos and his Bachianas that rhymes with Baianas but that doesn't rhyme with Carioca, even though that's fitting.
Don't be sad, for next year there will be another Ash Wednesday and all that goes before. Do you like it?
The year 2006 was the one when I joined four friends of mine to lauch a project unheard of so far in Portugal: a group of southern americans and europeans — portuguese, italians and brazilians — that perform jewish traditional music from eastern Europe. Thus Barbacute was born.
Here we play Klezmer music with our own musical arrangements.
The odd man out from this set of pieces is Schindler's List (1993) by
John Williams (1932).
