Fábio Caramuru

It was produced entirely during the social distancing period, and this new work portraits the musician on an imaginary trip from his living room to the depths of Brazilian Amazon forest, as he is lured by the mysterious song of the legendary bird Uirapuru, which is rarely seen.

For the EcoMusica repertoire, Fabio's main thematic materials are borrowed primarily from bird songs and nature sounds, crafted in elaborated soundscapes for the piano.

In 2020, Caramuru and Babu Baía started a radio program about Tom Jobim (Cultura FM, São Paulo, Brazil - 103.3 MHZ).

In 2005, the French pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque performed Tom Jobim's Chovendo na Roseira, the first of a series of arrangements for two pianos written by Fábio Caramuru.

In 2013, he performed at the renowned Club Reserva in Gent, Belgium, and started the research for the project EcoMúsica, based on the interaction between sounds of nature and the piano.

In 2014, he directed and performed as soloist in projects such as the one which marked Tom Jobim's 20 years of departure at Caixa Cultural São Paulo, and "Brazil in Two Pianos", a national tour, with the pianist Barco Bernardo, as well as at Instrumental SESC Brasil.

Caramuru also released four new videos EcoMúsica: Bem-te-vi, Harpia (with the dancer ismael Ivo), Araras and Hidorigamo (with the ceramicist Hideko Honma), all of them available on his YouTube channel.

In 2019, Caramuru continued to develop the EcoMúsica Project, presenting it in concerts in Brazil (SESC, Japan House) and Canada, celebrating the 5th Anniversary of Cafe & Cultura Toronto, at Granite Club.
