Amaro Freitas brings Afro-Brazilian jazz to Munich
On October 20, 2026, the Night Club at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof will transform into a resonance chamber for modern jazz, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and musical border crossings. Amaro Freitas presents an energetic stage performance with his trio, showcasing virtuosic piano playing, pulsating bass, and precise drumming.
Between Recife, the Amazon, and modern jazz avant-garde
Amaro Freitas hails from Recife in northeastern Brazil and developed a distinctive piano language from the rhythmic traditions of his homeland. His debut album Sangue Negro from 2016 garnered him international attention. With Rasif from 2018 and Sankofa from 2021, he furthered his connection of Afro-Brazilian music, improvised jazz, and contemporary composition.
His album Y’Y from 2024 focuses on the Amazon region and the traditions of the indigenous Sateré-Mawé community. Freitas combines images of nature, spirituality, and cultural heritage with the international Black avant-garde. The orchestration opens spaces for free improvisation, while his percussive conducting at the piano drives the sound of the trio.
A trio with rhythmic tension
In Munich, Amaro Freitas shares the stage with Sidiel Vieira on bass and Rodrigo Braz on drums. The interplay thrives on synchronization and spontaneous interaction: bass lines deepen the pulse, the drums set striking accents, and Freitas transforms the piano into a melodic and rhythmic instrument.
The live atmosphere in the Night Club promises an intense concert experience with warm club sound, dynamic transitions, and an audience mood shifting between focused listening and exuberant enthusiasm. Afro-Brazilian jazz meets modern jazz avant-garde, creating a sound world full of movement.
Y’Y as a musical journey
The music of Y’Y revolves around the relationship between humans, the environment, and cultural memory. Freitas unites Afro-Brazilian influences with indigenous perspectives and international jazz traditions. This results in a concert evening that not only showcases virtuosity but also poses questions about identity, nature, and musical self-determination.
For his artistic work, Amaro Freitas has received international recognition. The album Y’Y has been acknowledged by experts as a significant work in his development; in 2026, Freitas won the Paul Acket Award at the North Sea Jazz Festival as the first Brazilian.
