Tresafinado is
a rendezvous of three musicians: two classical musicians, flautist Pia Kaufmanas
and guitarist Torsten
Borbye Nielsen, and the Brazilian
drummer and percussionist, Afonso Corrêa,
who
brings with him the wealth
of Brazilian music with its vivacious, sensual rhythms.
This meeting of two musical cultures creates a unique form of expression.
In a
repertoire based on the Spanish and South-american music Tresafinado explores
new possibilities, performing classical music together with other styles. The
strong Spanish spirit of de Falla and the all-embracing musical language of
Villa-Lobos is presented next to a Brazilian choro, a Venezuelian waltz or
just a simple folksong.
