With a twelve-year career, 5 recorded albums, and numerous festival performances across Brazil and around the world, Nomade Orquestra is now one of the leading names in instrumental music.
The group carries an urban, avant-garde character and serves as a meeting point where different musical strands and expressions interact in a unique way, resulting in thought-provoking and original work.
Their musical identity is the result of Brazil's cultural melting pot and the musical dialogues that each of the ten members brings to the mix. Imagine blending the industrial influence of the ABC Paulista region—the birthplace of Nomade Orquestra—with percussion typical of traditional Brazilian styles. Or interweaving complex, non-obvious jazz harmonies with soul vibes, funk grooves, and the straightforward progressions of rock or reggae.
A brass quintet featuring trumpet, trombone, alto sax, tenor sax, baritone sax, and flutes creates a sound reminiscent of American jazz big bands, yet it can also guide us through nostalgic 70s road movie soundtracks with stops in the Middle East! Ethnic flutes may appear unexpectedly, leading to detours along the way. Drums, bass, keyboards, and guitar pave the ground for these soundscapes to come to life.
