Amaro Freitas

Memory, motion, and modern Afro-jazz converging in sound.

Sankofa is a journey through past and present, where Amaro Freitas channels the spirit of Afro-Brazilian rhythms through the lens of jazz innovation. Piano lines ripple with urgency, percussion pulses like ancestral heartbeat, and melodies hover between introspection and release. Every note feels intentional yet free, rooted yet exploratory.

There’s an edge here: the music is precise but alive, ceremonial but defiant, balancing tradition with restless curiosity. Sankofa invites listeners to look back in order to move forward, letting groove, improvisation, and emotion guide the path.

This is Afro-jazz as meditation and motion, intimate and expansive, a record that resonates long after the final chord fades.
