synthétis by Loureiro Pamplona Abissamra

Ike Loureiro, Caio Pamplona and Rafael Abissamra are three recognisable names in the vivid São Paulo jazz scene. Being around their 30's, they belong to a generation that already achieved a well-deserved recognition, with younger cats looking up to them as for how to make steps into the real world after leaving college. The three of them having released their own music as leaders and being highly requested sidemen both in the jazz and mpb/pop/r&b scenes, this trio represents an effort to build a shared musical identity that can grow and evolve like individual identities do.

Since early 2023, the group has been developing a musical work that engages with the globalization process in the contemporary world, especially with regard to the ease of access to an infinite cultural diversity through the internet. In a historical scenario of uncertainty and ruptures, they see music as an instrument for bringing people together. On the other hand, the diverse geographical origins of each of the members (Paraná, Bahia and São Paulo) reinforce the Brazilian cultural identity through the combination of the musical beauties of each region.

Among other influences, their music references classical music of European tradition, Brazilian-rooted swing and rhythms, the tradition of North American jazz (in the way they approach improvisation) and contemporary jazz musicians from the Middle East (for their use of odd time signatures). All of these mixed with the subtlety of bossa-nova and the aggression of metal and rock.
