Editor's review
Latin jazz tends to be fast paced, swinging, and largely orthodox in approach. Avant-garde jazz tends to be atonal, heady, and inaccessible. Brazil's Travalingua are a notable exception to both rules. The experimental project joins a variety of traditional styles and rare instruments to create fresh, ambient fusions that maintain an earthy vibe.
Biography
The Travalingua project has the purpose to promote awareness of the music through the Brazilian instrumental language.
By giving priority to the pieces previously unreleased or little publicised by the media the finished work resulted in a CD recorded and produced by the group itself and which includes only a part of the repertoire performed in concert, and it also features songs written by Edu Lobo, Hermeto Paschoal, Egberto Gismonti, Astor Piazzolla and Milton Nascimento. With a popular and avant-garde quality to the arrangements, the songs were crafted under the influence of popular and cultural genres with very unique nationalities and intonation where a rare combination of the instruments is used by the group.
