Caminhando - Trio Brasiiero

Formed in 2011, Trio Brasileiro has already made a name for itself as an ensemble worthy of international attention. Their stunning virtuosity is matched with remarkable musicianship and a deep devotion to the language of music, allowing them to achieve a one-of-a-kind sound that shares equal parts understated subtlety and irresistible groove. But it is their love of the traditional music of Brazil and the connection between brothers – by birth and by bonds of friendship – that create a very rare and profound beauty. Trio Brasileiro includes the celebrated guitarist and full time member of the award-winning Brasil Guitar Duo, Douglas Lora; one of Brazil’s finest mandolin virtuosos, Dudu Maia, and the amazing percussionist and brother of Douglas, Alexandre Lora. Trio Brasileiro is dedicated to performing the great traditional choro music of Brasil by Jacob do Bandolim, Ernesto Nazareth and others, as well as their own compositions, which are modern reflections of that great traditional musical form. Trio Brasileiro’s discography includes “Simples Assim” (2012), “Alegria da Casa” - featuring the amazing clarinetist Anat Cohen (2015) and “Caminho do Meio” (2015). Dudu, Douglas and Alexandre live in Brazil and have been touring as a trio in the U.S. since 2011 with overwhelming success, with sold out performances and standing ovations all along the country. The trio has performed with great success in New York, Chicago, Boston, Bay Area, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Bloomington, Louisville, Cedar Rapids, etc. Since 2011, Trio Brasileiro has also led the faculty of the annual Centrum Choro Workshop, the biggest event dedicated exclusively to Choro music in the U.S.
