A blend of Spanish, Brazilian and Classical guitar work with a light jazz touch. The setting is both solo performance as well as three of the Brazilian pieces played with a full rhythm section and percussion. The playing here is breathtakingly beautiful.
Bio / Background
Duarte's musical style is firmly based in traditional Latin music, while referencing elements of funk and jazz fusion.
His playing remains beautiful and communicative throughout, reflecting a true sense of the gypsy spirit. In his solo acoustic playing, as well as in his searing electric solos, he plays with a passion that equally captivates the listener.
The youngest of seven children, Duarte was exposed to a broad range of musical styles, including rock, folk, and big band jazz. In grade school, his Spanish teacher would often stay after class, playing and singing Flamenco music, and accompanying herself on the guitar. This was a major influence in his development.
Duarte began playing guitar at age 12, becoming lead guitarist in a rock band within four months. His innovation and curiosity led him to classical music and jazz during high school, and he continued playing acoustic styles as therapy from the rock bands.
