Dear friends,
here we have the recording of an unforgettable day for Acuri. On March 9th 2006, we were invited by our master
Itiberê Zwarg (leader of Orquestra Família and bassist in Hermeto Pascoal's group for 30 years) to participate in "Geringonça", an event that always features a less known group along with some renowed artist. For our surprise, honour and happiness, Itiberê invited the group to be on this event, joining him and Orquestra Família!
As it always happens in "Geringonça", before the concerts at the main stage, there would be an open chat between the musicians and the audience. Itiberê proposed that, instead of talking, maybe he could carry out a workshop, putting together the two groups. He would compose and arrange a piece on the spot (as he usually does at his workshops and with Orquestra), that would be finished at the workshop and played by the groups at the main stage. For us in Acuri, it was already an honour to be a part of this, imagine to share the stage with Orquestra Família... That's the reason why this event became an unforgettable day!!
The audio quality is not the best (it was taken from a video we'll soon post here), but it shows a clear picture of what happened at this meeting. We hope you like it!!
The tune and the arrangement were created by Itiberê and passed on to the musicians during the workshop, using only a small melodica to create and teach all voices, harmonies and melodies in the composition. Check out the results on this recording...
