Chico Bastos joins José Almeida for an intimate programme exploring sambas and related Brazilian rhythms. In this encounter, Chico Bastos plays guitar and sings, presenting a repertoire that spans traditional sambas and his own compositions. Accompanied by José Almeida's percussion, the duo crafts a musical journey through the rich traditions of Brazilian popular music — from the subtle swing of samba to the captivating energy of choro, baião, and beyond. The dialogue between guitar and percussion creates a warm and dynamic conversation, inviting the audience into the heart of Brazil's musical heritage. Chico Bastos is a Luso-Brazilian composer, multi-instrumentalist, and researcher based in Porto. He holds a Master's degree in Sound Design from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and is currently a doctoral candidate in Artistic Creation at the University of Aveiro, where he develops research around the tenor guitar in contemporary contexts. A founding member and president of Associação Urubatã – Clube do Choro Porto, he has dedicated his career to the dissemination and renewal of choro and Brazilian popular music in Europe. José Almeida is a Portuguese architect and professor who has recently relocated to Trondheim. With a deep passion for Brazilian music, he has spent years exploring the rich traditions of choro and samba, practising and performing as a percussionist.
