Branco plays Marco Paulo

FREE ENTRANCE

Branco plays Marco Paulo is the latest project by guitarist Pedro Branco. The musician is based on a reinterpretation of the vast artistic work of the famous Portuguese singer Marco Paulo in a formation that Branco has not yet explored, the jazz trio format. He is joined by João Sousa on drums and Carlos Barretto on double bass. The project began with an interpretation of songs exclusively from the 1970 album Ver e Amar, which is little known to the general public. To this repertoire were added arrangements of well-known songs such as Eu Tenho Dois Amores, Sempre que Brilha o Sol or Joana. The aim is to bring together two musical languages that are quite different in their purpose and aesthetics, but to find in this dichotomy common traits that become relevant musical moments. The songs are stripped down to their essence and the end result mixes contemporary improvisation with classics from Portuguese pop culture without losing the sense of humour and performative unpredictability.
