Bianca Gismonti
Bianca’s entire art was naturally born out of the affective bonds she ́s weaved throughout her life. As a due heiress of her father ́s musicality – the great composer, pianist and guitarist Egberto Gismonti - she started, at the ripe age of 15, to accompany him on tour around the world. During her musical college years, she befriended Claudia Castelo Branco, another young pianist, with whom would co-found “Duo Gisbranco” – growing into a successful eleven year career comprising of three albums, one DVD and extensive world-wide touring. Yet, the encounter with drummer/percussionist Julio Falavigna was bound to happen. Based on Bianca’s new compositions, they’ve taken their personal union over to the musical field, together conceiving and producing “Sonhos de Nascimento” (Dreams of Birth). Furthermore, from 2013 to 2014, they’d consolidate a trio format alongside bassist Antonio Porto, thus realizing a common sonic identification, touring South America, Europe as well as Japan. Traveling from explorations towards solutions, the larve-like sleep of “Dreams of Birth” (“Sonhos de Nascimento”) blossoms unto the butterfly-ish free flight of “First Sky” (“Primeiro céu”), her second album released in 2015. In 2016, the same album was released by Impartment Records (Japan) and Quinton Records (Austria), allowing for a new round of tours over Europe, Africa and Asia, during which her new album “Desvelando mares” was recorded in Budapest.
