HAMILTON DE HOLANDA, Brasil/Jazz

The charisma and contagious enthusiasm of the Hamilton de Holanda Quintet on stage, and its impeccable play overflowing with erudite inventiveness, make it one of the most remarkable bands of the new generation of performers and composers of contemporary Brazilian music.
“Universal music, melodies worthy of a tropical dream, an incredible art of percussion, splendid harmonica riffs, a guitar with rare finesse, inspired bass lines. The soloists making up this quintet are exceptional.“
Their first album, Brasilianos (Adventure Music, 2006), whose key word is complicity, was nominated for the 8th Latin Grammy Awards 2007 in the category “Best instrumental album”. In August 2007, the quintet recorded Brasilianos 2 in Rio de Janeiro, due in Europe at the beginning of 2008.“This concert is a homage to the people and to the young Brazilian musicians who intuitively opened a new way in the expression of their art – modern instrumental Brazilian music – based on the colors and traditions of this country without ever losing sight of current trends. They are citizens of the world who bring a Brazilian fragrance to the universal melting pot.”
Hamilton de Holanda

Hamilton de Holanda Quintet is not merely a concert but a musical manifest and a celebration of young virtuoso players that blend musical traditions in their cutting-edge Brazilian music-making.

The Quintet has been receiving an inordinate amount of outstanding acclaim. Their concerts have been described as: flamenco-reminiscent arpeggios; devilish high-speed syncopations applying extreme duress on ensemble work only to come off like a dream; unexpected time gates; scintillating tremolos following bass lines in lock step; sophisticated harmonic progressions; dreamy Tropicana melodies; sneaky percussion art; gorgeous harmonica riffs; suave guitar work; statement music for people. The soloists that make up the quintet are exceptional. LAST ALBUMS

Best of presseLeur premier album, dont le maître mot est complicité, Brasilianos est nommé aux 8th Latin Grammy Awards 2007 dans la catégorie ?Meilleur album instrumental?.

Ce sont des citoyens du monde qui apportent un parfum brésilien au pot universel.”
