Brazilian Duo, Duovau, to perform at Mountain City Traditional Arts
Frostburg’s Mountain City Traditional Arts in partnership with World Artists Experiences, presents the Brazilian Duo, Duovau, Sunday, April 30 at 4 pm.
Exploring
the rich diversity of Brazil’s vibrant traditional music scene, two Brazilian
musicians from different musical traditions come together to present a canvas
portraying their country’s rich musical landscape. The duo features Levi Ramiro,
a violeiro (viola brasileira player), singer and composer who has
his roots in folk music from Brazil, and Esdras Rodrigues, a rabequeiro (rabeca
brasileira player), who built a career as a professional violinist, but who
also, two decades ago, fell in love with the Brazilian fiddles. Together, this
talented duo takes listeners on a tour of evocative Brazilian musical genres,
exploring rich expressive and rhythmic content, couched in geographical,
social, and cultural aspects of Brazil.
Duovau draws inspiration from music played all over Brazil
in violas brasileiras and rabecas, gathering a collection of
rhythms and unique elements extracted from the rich musical and cultural
universe of Brazilian regions to create its music, which lies within the
boundaries of Brazilian contemporary instrumental music. Together, they share
their extensive individual journeys and personal experiences along the many veredas within Brazilian music.
