Guitarists Bosco Oliveira, Nelson Latif and percussionist Sandro Alves make up the line-up of Trio Baru, a group that has been touring many countries all around the world for the last nineteen years. The musicians have different musical backgrounds: Latif in the choro, Bosco in the Spanish flamenco and Sandro Alves in the traditional regional styles. In 2011 Trio Baru released their first album, called Alma Brasileira; in 2016 their first DVD, called Trio Baru, dez anos.
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. As cultural promoter, Nelson Latif has been coordinating educational projects for universities and cultural institutions around the world.
João Bosco de Oliveira was born in Brasília in 1967, and started his guitar studies at the age of 8. He studied at Escola de Música de Brasília and the Universidade de Brasília - UNB, graduating in 1992. Bosco took part in several international guitar competitions and won four of them. He has performed in Brasília and other Brazilian cities, and always receives excellent reviews in the Brazilian press. Bosco Oliveira is a professor at the classic guitar department of the Brasília Music School, where he has been teaching since 1993.
From Rio de Janeiro, percussionist Sandro Alves is well-known for his samba roots. He is a specialist at mixing the traditional styles of Afro-Brazilian music with modern jazz. Besides playing with Trio Baru, Alves can also be seen all around Brazil as a sideman of some of the country's star singers.
Português:
O Trio Baru é composto de três instrumentistas brasileiros, Nelson Latif, Bosco Oliveira e Sandro Alves. Nessa nova formação, o trio apresenta-se nos principais palcos brasileiros e do exterior.
O grupo celebra o encontro de três músicos que dedicaram toda a carreira à música instrumental brasileira. Os violonistas Latif e Bosco atuaram em palcos bem distantes nas duas últimas décadas, Bosco no Brasil, Latif na Europa, cada um seguindo uma trajetória: Latif encontrou no choro sua principal referência, Bosco, na música flamenca. Ambos têm formação acadêmica em violão erudito. O percussionista carioca Sandro Alves é conhecido por unir ritmos tradicionais brasileiros com influências modernas.
Em 2011 o trio gravou o CD Alma Brasileira. Nos concertos de lançamento do album, os músicos prestam um tributo aos grandes compositores brasileiros. Em 2016 o trio lançou seu primeiro DVD em comemoração aos aniversário de 10 anos do grupo.
