Egberto Amin Gismonti (born December 5, 1947 in Carmo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)[1] is a Brazilian composer, guitarist and pianist.[1]
He was influenced by Heitor Villa-Lobos, his works reflecting the musical diversity of Brazil. From the Amazon Indians' batuque to the Carioca samba and choro, through the Northeastern frevo, baião, and forró, Gismonti captures the true essence of the Brazilian soul in a way that is primitive, yet sophisticated, and reflects it through his personal vision, elaborated by years of classic training and literacy in a wealth of musical languages in which jazz plays a significant role.
