João Bernardo and Augusto Baschera

The transatlantic duo of Augusto Baschera (Brazil) and João Bernardo (Portugal) was formed in 2018 and the pair have released two albums, entitled ‘Grey City’ (2020) and ‘Tempos e Lugares’ (2022). With co-authorship as a particular feature of the composition process, the result of this phonographic sequence reveals the evolution of the duo's voice, which is also fuelled by the interaction and involvement of the musicians at the time of the performance.

Through a balance and subtlety that illustrates contrasts, the project's driving force is the timbric fusion of piano and guitar. The duo's records feature original compositions influenced by popular, classical and jazz music, with the music itself emerging from a rural voice and developing through a modern language in a juxtaposition of contrasting realities.
