The guitar is the most popular instrument in the world. Duo Calavento conducts this unusual combination with surprising compositions and arrangements. <br /><br />Duo Calavento has a unique sound. By exploring different techniques and musical resources, Diogo Carvalho (classical guitar) and Leonardo Padovani (violin) deconstruct the images of these instruments, normally related to popular and classical music.<br /><br />The duo composes and chooses its repertoire inspired by “impressions” of the universe: the starting point can be an image, a landscape, a feeling, or an idea that soon turns into a musical portrait. <br /><br />Calavento is a word created by the duo that alludes to the wind vane (in Portuguese it is called “catavento”) which is a symbol of joy, movement, color and flexibility. It also evokes the musicians’ spirit and their music. “Calar” in Portuguese means “to silence” and, in this case, transmits the music at its deepest level: when it touches our soul.<br /><br />The duo’s compositional style received recognition when the song 'Janela do Sol' (Window of the Sun) was awarded First Prize in the 2009 Botucanto Instrumental Festival. The musicians have been receiving applauses in Germany, Italy, and many cities in Brazil. In June of 2014, the duo released his first CD called “Calavento”. <br /><br />Diogo Carvalho – Classical guitar<br />Leonardo Padovani – Violin<br /><br />http://www.calavento.com.br/<br />https://www.facebook.com/calavento<br />https://soundcloud.com/duo-calavento<br />https://www.youtube.com/user/duocalavento<br />http://www.deezer.com/album/7474843<br />Listen to 'Ponte das Cordas' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc4I_Frx_1A<br />Listen to 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' (Tchaikovsky) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fnvwvp5EQ8<br /><br />CREDITS / SPONSORS<br />Production, Booking & Script: UK Live Sessions Music Entertainment Projects & PR <br />Cam-op: Keila Antunes and Caue Patucci <br />Mixer Engineer & Music Production: Rafael DG - Audmo<br />Presenter: Filipe Perez <br />Photographers: Keila Antunes and Caue Patucci<br />View Location: Centro Cultural São Paulo - http://www.centrocultural.sp.gov.br/ <br /><br />Supporter: <br />Centro Cultural São Paulo - http://www.centrocultural.sp.gov.br/<br /><br />Equipment by Nikon - http://www.nikon.com.br<br /><br />Beverages by Bier & Wein - http://www.bierwein.com.br/<br />Catering Tyrrell's by Latinex - http://www.latinex.com.br/<br /><br />Tune in again to BalconyTV //
