Renato Borghetti Quartet’s European Tour, Porto Alegre - Brazil Contributed by Holda Paoletti-Kampl
Accordionist Renato Borghetti is from Rio Grande do Sul in Southern Brazil. Borghetti has revised, adapted and modernized many of the native sounds of his home country. His fast and playful tunes combine the sounds of the Argentinian pampas with central European, Italian and French elements into a sparkling, contemporary mixture of Tango, Polka, Tex Mex and Musette. He also adapts elements of Brazilian and global pop, samba and jazz into his unique style of accordion playing. And in spite of all experiments he remains 100% gaucho – with hat, long hair and wide trousers.
‘Borghettinho’, as his fans like to call him, has been recording for 20 years. He has shared the stage with Stephane Grapelli, Ron Carter and Hermeto Pascoal, and is the first Brazilian musician to achieve a golden record with purely instrumental music. ‘Gauchos’, his first European CD, was released in 2005, nominated for the ‘Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik’. In 2006 Borghetti will be back in Europe – for the first time with renowned Brazilian pianist Vitor Peixoto in the line up of the band.
