 Mando Nuevo verbindet südamerikanisches Rhythmusgefühl mit klassischer Spieltechnik, reichhaltigen Harmonien und jazzigen Klängen. Neben feiner Spielkultur, elegantem Ton und einer nuancenreichen Darbietung beweist Mando Nuevo faszinierende Eigenständigkeit! Zusammen verschmelzen die drei Virtuosen ihre Qualitäten zu einer äußerst unterhaltsamen musikalischen ménage à trois und zeigen dabei stilistische Vielseitigkeit, hohe Virtuosität und enorme Spielfreude bei ihrem Repertoire aus Brasilianischem Choro, italienischen Kantilenen, Gypsy Swing und der Klassik. Elegant verweben sich hier Harmonien, geschickt wechselt ständig die Melodieführung zwischen Mandolinen und Gitarre! Mando Nuevo erleuchtet die Bühne mit ansteckender Freude und Energie, mit einer ständigen musikalischen Konversation und niemals endenden virtuosen Improvisationen!

* Choro is a style of music from Brazil which first became popular there in the 1920s to '40s, nurtured in the cafés and bistros of Rio de Janeiro and other urban centers. Choro or sometimes chorinho, (referring to individual pieces) has many similarities to ragtime, traditional New Orleans jazz and hot-rhythm music from the United States, but with samba based rhythms played on fretted stringed instruments, and often a single wind instrument. Its roots go back as far as the late 1800's European dance forms, Portuguese ultra-romanticism, and the rhythms of African and indigenous people. The long, highly syncopated and charming melodies reached their zenith in the works of Pixinguinha, Ernesto Nazareth, Jacob do Bandolim, Waldir Azevedo, K-Ximbinho and many others. Although the choro genre includes many songs, it is predominantly an instrumentalist's form played for the love of playing. It survives today in Brazil and internationally, being kept alive by a new generation of players devoted to Brazil's "traditional" jazz.
