A Sonic Bridge Between Two Continents
On Sunday, 27 September 2026, Amaro Freitas and Momi Maiga take the stage at CaixaForum Valencia to perform Ecos de l'Atlàntic, a concert that fuses contemporary jazz with the musical traditions of Brazil and West Africa. Freitas, a pianist and composer from Recife, and Maiga, a kora virtuoso born in Casamance (Senegal), bring their instruments together to create an improvised dialogue that traces the African diaspora. The 75-minute show blends original compositions with free passages, where piano and kora intertwine in a rhythmic and vocal flow without labels.
The Artists
Amaro Freitas has established himself as one of the most innovative voices in today’s jazz scene, known for his ability to integrate Afro-Brazilian polyrhythms with a spiritual and creative search. Meanwhile, Momi Maiga, based in Catalonia, is a heir to the griot tradition and fuses Mandinka heritage with influences from flamenco, classical music, and jazz. Together, they transform the concert into a sensory journey that celebrates memory and freedom.
Key Information
The concert begins at 18:30 at CaixaForum Valencia. Tickets, available for €15, can be purchased on the event’s official website. There are no age restrictions, making the show suitable for all audiences.
