Composer

Co-founder and artistic director of the Ensemble Sargo

 Vitor Gonçalves, Bernardo Ramos, Josué Lopez, Bruno Aguilar, have acquired a great breadth of experience in Brazilian music. Having won an array of awards, they've already collaborated with great figures such as Hermeto Pascoal, Dominguinhos, Naná Vasconcelos, Itiberê Zwarg, Djavan, Arismar do Espírito Santo and Hamilton de Holanda.

   In this meeting of kinship, Bamboo is the result of the melding of their particular histories. On their first album, "Bamboo," that was released by the label Brasilianos, the composers, instrumentalists and arrangers present a body of work replete with references from the roots of Brazilian music to vanguard jazz and classical music.

Diversas vezes premiados, já atuaram junto a grandes nomes como Hermeto Pascoal, Dominguinhos, Naná Vasconcelos, Itiberê Zwarg, Djavan, Arismar do Espírito Santo e Hamilton de Holanda.

   O Bamboo é a consequência do cruzamento dessas histórias num encontro de extrema afinidade. No primeiro disco do grupo, "Bamboo", que foi lançado lançado pelo selo Brasilianos, os compositores, instrumentistas e arranjadores apresentam um trabalho autoral repleto de referências, que vão das raízes da música brasileira ao jazz de vanguarda e a música clássica.
