Join us for a local debut by the Hamilton de Holanda Trio. De Holanda, one of Brazil’s most celebrated musicians, is a global ambassador for Brazilian music. Picking up the mandolin at the age of five, he revolutionized the 10-string version of the instrument, blending Brazilian traditions with jazz and other global influences. JazzTimes wrote, “Mandolin virtuoso and composer de Holanda proves the limitless capabilities of the Brazilian bandolim as a solo instrument.” DownBeat called him an “absolute maestro of rhythm and improvisation.” A four-time Latin grammy award winner with 17 nominations, de Holanda has earned international recognition and amassed over 14 million streams across 180 countries, with 800,000 monthly listeners on Spotify in 2024. His music is rooted in the vibrant choro street jams of Brasília. Hamilton de Holanda on Facebook / Instagram
