Solo concert van de Portugese 7-snaren gitarist Manel Ferreira, een reis doorheen eigen composities en arrangementen recent verschenen op de EP Travessia, waarop ook de Braziliaanse legende Yamandu Costa te horen is. Na een meer flamenco geïnspireerd album Vento Iberico (2022), kiest hij nu voor Braziliaanse en latijnsamerikaanse muziek. Naast twee solo albums, maakt Manel naam als muzikant bij Ana Moura en won hij de European Guitar Award in 2021.
Portuguese guitarist Manel Ferreira mixes musical styles as diverse as the places he has traveled- with his backpack and 7 string guitar by his side, he’s seen the jungles of Guatemala and the steep peaks of the Himalayas. He stores his memories in musical format- in instrumental pieces, which mix various World Music influences, like Brazilian, Flamenco, Fado and Tango, with subtle nuances of Classical Music and Jazz or in songs that immediately send us to the place where they were created.
At home, he’s walking a path just as exciting - he was one of the winners of the prestigious ‘European Guitar Award 2021’ and has played in places ranging from South Africa to Russia to all over Europe, both solo, and with some of Portugal’s finest artists, including Ana Moura, with whom he currently plays.
In 2022, he released his new album 'Vento Ibérico’, where he showcases some of his newest compositions, with a more ‘Iberian’ feel, and also a couple of eclectic arrangements of songs by two Portuguese artists that have influenced him- Carlos do Carmo and Sérgio Godinho. It's also the first time he presents himself as a singer, with the song 'Solidao'.
More recently, he released an EP with the collaboration and production of guitar legend Yamandu Costa. In these 5 pieces, Manel passes to the other side of the Atlantic, putting out his guitar pieces most inspired by Brazilian and Latin American music.
