The Hamilton de Holanda Trio is comprised of Hamilton de Holanda (10-string mandolin), Guto Wirtti (bass), and Thiago da Serrinha (percussion), who together create acoustic intimacy combined with force and virtuosic density. This group is the result of the blend of three Brazilian musical heritages: Thiago brings the Afro-Brazilian tradition of the jongo (considered the father/cousin of samba), Guto brings influences from the Gauchos from the large plains of the south of Brazil, and Hamilton brings the tradition of choro.
Originating in the 19th century from a mix of the European waltzes and African rhythms, choro is characterized by virtuosity, improvisation, subtle modulations, syncopation, and counterpoint. It is considered to be the first characteristically Brazilian genre of urban popular music. Brazil’s greatest composer Heitor Villa-Lobos defined choro as the “true incarnation of Brazilian soul.”
