Born in São Paulo, Brazil, and currently based in New York City, two-time GRAMMY-nominated guitarist Chico Pinheiro is today one of the major creative forces in contemporary Brazilian jazz, both as an instrumentalist and composer. He started playing guitar at the age of six and began working professionally at the age of 14. With highly acclaimed albums as a leader, as well as numerous awards for his work as an instrumentalist and composer, Chico has recorded and toured extensively with the Chico Pinheiro Quartet and has collaborated on special projects with the “cream of the crop” of Brazilian, jazz, and classical artists, including Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Plácido Domingo, Danilo Pérez, Kurt Elling, Brad Mehldau, Dianne Reeves, Ivan Lins, Rosa Passos, Joyce, Edu Lobo, Dori Caymmi, João Donato, and many more.
Romero Lubambo‘s guitar playing unites the styles and rhythms of his native Brazilian musical heritage with his fluency in the American jazz tradition to form a distinctive sound. In 1985, he came to the United States, and brought with him a new sound in Brazilian jazz guitar. From the cool, sophisticated rhythms of his native Brazil to hard bop, Romero is a guitarist who’s comfortable in any musical setting. Lubambo has performed and recorded with many outstanding artists, including Dianne Reeves, Billie Eilish, Angelique Kidjo, Michael Brecker, Yo-Yo Ma, Kathleen Battle, Diana Krall, Herbie Mann, Wynton Marsalis, Gal Costa, Luciana Souza, Cyro Baptista, Ivan Lins, Grover Washington Jr., Vernon Reid, Flora Purim and Airto, Paquito D’Rivera, Harry Belafonte, Cesar Camargo Mariano… among many others. He has also established himself as a composer and performer on his own critically acclaimed recording projects as well as on those of Trio Da Paz, a GRAMMY-nominated Brazilian jazz trio Lubambo formed with Nilson Matta and Duduka da Fonseca.
Together these two represent the finest in Brazilian guitar worldwide.
Dia Do Brasil is a celebration of Brazilian Culture in NYC.
