SAO PAOLO UNDERGROUND
Rob Mazurek – cornet, electronics, synths, vocal
Guilherme Granado – keyboards, samplers, vocal
Mauricio Takara – drums, percussion, cavaquinho, electronic
Celebrating 20 years of fearless musical exploration, São Paulo Underground continues to redefine the possibilities of electro-acoustic composition, spontaneous composition, and sonic invention. Formed in São Paulo in 2005 by Rob Mazurek and Mauricio Takara, the ensemble made its debut later that year in Spain, and released its first recording on São Paulo’s Submarine Records, marking the beginning of one of the most distinctive creative partnerships in contemporary music. With the addition of Guilherme Granado, the group evolved into a singular trio whose music brings together Brazilian rhythmic traditions, electronic experimentation, improvisation, and immersive sound worlds into a constantly unfolding collective language. Over the past two decades, São Paulo Underground has performed at major festivals throughout Europe, the Americas, and Asia while building an acclaimed discography that has established the ensemble as one of the defining voices in contemporary creative music. Recent projects include the commissioned audiovisual works for Jazzfest Berlin, extending the group’s practice beyond the concert stage into moving image and interdisciplinary performance. Entering its third decade, São Paulo Underground remains committed to discovery. Every performance by this trio is a unique event – a journey through unfamiliar soundscapes.
VINCENT PEIRANI QUINTET
VINCENT PEIRANI - accordion, accordina
ÉMILE PARISIEN - soprano sax
YOANN SERRA - drums,
JULIEN HERNÉ - bass,
TONY PAELEMAN - fender rhodes, piano
A musician who has completely renewed the language of the accordion, Vincent Peirani began studying classical accordion and clarinet before discovering the world of jazz and free improvisation. He approaches the accordion as an orchestral instrument, using its sustained tones, breathing-like dynamics, unusual harmonies and rich timbral possibilities to create atmospheric, sometimes almost cinematic music. While frequently collaborating with different artists, one of his most important musical partnerships is with saxophonist Émile Parisien, with whom he has performed for more than a decade, both as a duo and in different ensembles. With several albums and projects behind him, Peirani’s clearest spirit as a composer comes to life in Living Being, the quintet that creates a space for collective exploration. The project draws on jazz, rock, contemporary composition and different musical traditions, but does not belong entirely to any of them. The quintet’s latest chapter, “Living Being IV: Time Reflections”, continues to explore this terrain, bringing together original compositions with re-imagined material from artists as diverse as Portishead, David Bowie and The Beatles. Together, this quintet of highly distinctive voices will close the 45th Skopje Jazz Festival.
