TOUR OFFER EUROPEMAY/JUNE 2013

An inimitabile Brazilian feeling comes through – a certain languor and naturalness in the rhythms and relationships … Borghetti’s folk has an expansive register and emotional range, and is an introduction to a sound as removed from the world music radar as its heartland is off the tourist map. Songlines, UK, June 2011
Prozac? Light therapy? No need for all of this: With their music, Borghetti and his backing musicians do really chase winter depression away through the front door.

Ecstasy, humour and first rate virtuosity: Accordion wizard Renato Borghetti is the superstar among the new folk musicians from Rio Grande do Sul in Southern Brazil. The charismatic gaúcho has revised, adapted and modernized many of the native sounds of his home country. His shows are unforgettable live events, offering a sparkling and elegant mix of traditional forms such as Milonga, Chacarera and Chamamé with elements of Jazz, Tango and chamber music. And in spite of all experiments he remains 100% gaúcho – with hat, long hair and wide trousers. “Borghettinho”, as his fans like to call him, has been recording cds for more than 20 years. He has shared the stage with Stephane Grapelli, Ron Carter and Hermeto Pascoal and is the first Brazilian musician to achieve a golden record with purely instrumental music. Gauchos, his first European CD, was immediately nominated for the “Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik” in 2005 and presented with a lot of success in numerous concerts and festivals all over Europe. Gaitaponto.Com and Fandango! were both nominated for a Grammy Latino. Renato's latest album Andanças (Saphrane/Music&Words) is the live recording of a concert in Brussels in May 2009 and represents something like the resume of 10 years touring in Europe – a time of investigating the musicians’ own roots, discovering new ways of musical expression and making a lot of new friends. The CD was selected among the best CDs of the year 2011 by the Dutch newspaper Het Parool and the Italian jazz portal All About Jazz Italia. And the brandnew DVD Renato Borghetti Quartet Europa was released in January 2012 - a charming roadmovie by René Goya Filho on the summer tour 2010.
