: “To what degree can I challenge your perception of melody, of tonality, of pulse? Maybe the joy of art is exactly to focus on these less expected pathways, these new directions filled with surprise and excitement.” 

Contemporary Brazilian pianist Henrique Eisenmann presents his new show featuring re-compositions and provocative arrangements of the music of Gilberto Gil. 
Gil continues to be one of the most powerful voices of Brazilian Popular Music (MPB) for the past 40 years; a true musical force mixing Afro-Brazilian roots, Rock, Samba and concrete poetry. 
In this concert, Henrique uses all of Gil's musical elements as bedrock for contemporary improvisations, dialoguing with tradition, pop culture and avant-garde art.
