Bio
Antonio Valdetaro has been developing songs in the romantic latin style such as Rick Martin, Jon Secada, Luis Miguel as a songwriter and also an authorial work with instrumental music Brazilian Jazz. Formed by four musicians, the Antonio Valdetaro Group is constituted by great names of the current Brazilian Instrumental Music.
Guitar, Piano,Bass and Drums
Always playing his own music, Antonio Valdetaro has developed as an original work and with deep roots in the Brazilian culture, since all the songs have a very strong regional stamp, where we can see a bigger presence of the samba, due to the simplicity of Antonio Valdetaro, that was born and grown up in Niterói city, Rio de Janeiro.
Rescuing our culture, mainly of the beginning of the century, in the sense of playing and composing complex melodies as Choro was, Antonio Valdetaro valorizes well the improvisation, not only of his instrument but also of all the members of the group, that enriched and brightened the performances of Antonio Valdetaro Group.
