25/07 | Rogério Bicudo & Nelson Latif

Rogério Bicudo


Rogério Bicudo (1957) grew up in Rio de Janeiro. You could almost say with a guitar in his hands. He had already started playing Brazilian folk music by the time he was eight. Barely four years later, he was working as a professional musician. As a soloist, Rogério Bicudo plays Brazilian Choros and Valsas, in addition to a classical repertoire. Choro is a musical genre that came into being in Rio de Janeiro at the end of the 19th century, a cross between European classical music and African and Brazilian rhythms. A remarkable virtuosity is required for the optimal rendering of Choro.

Nelson Latif

Cavaquinho and acoustic guitar player Nelson Latif formed his musical identity in the legendary jazz scene of 1980's São Paulo. With roots in choro and jazz, Latif merges Brazilian styles and a classical guitar technique with diverse musical influences. In his melodic phrasing one hears bebop and Brazilian syncopations, and in his virtuosity the energy of flamenco.
