Meretrio – Brazilian Jazz

In the organizer's words:

Meretrio stands as an exceptional Brazilian trio that has been creating creative and captivating music for 20 years. Over the years, Meretrio has toured extensively, performing in Brazil, several times in Europe and twice in Australia, including at some of the biggest festivals. The trio has created ten unique albums, each a testament to the deep musical connection shared by these three Brazilian musicians.

The Meretrio presents their 11th album to celebrate two decades as a band. This album promises to present original compositions inspired by Afro-Brazilian musical traditions, skillfully blended with elements of chamber music and jazz. The trio's sound explores diverse combinations of drums, percussion, bass, guitar, trombone and a loop machine, pushing the boundaries of sonic possibilities.

In recent years, Meretrio has embarked on collaborative projects, producing two albums in collaboration with renowned flautist and saxophonist Heinrich von Kalnein of the Jazz Big Band Graz: Live at the Birds Eye and Passagem.

In 2021, Meretrio released an album dedicated to Brazilian folk music, with a special focus on the genre "Choro." This genre, which originated in Brazil in the 19th century, is considered the forerunner of urban Brazilian music. Meretrio's interpretation earned them a nomination for the German Record Critics' Award.
Their 2016 album Óbvio received great acclaim and was rated four stars by DownBeat magazine. In 2019, the trio released a double album entitled Music for Small and Large Ensembles. Meretrio's most recent works have been well received by critics and fans alike and were named one of the "Best Albums of 2017" by DownBeat magazine.
