{"product_id":"erosao-percussion-trio_erosao-percussion-trio_2026_disco-bertus-france","title":"Erosao Percussion Trio","description":"Drummer, singer, composer and producer Mariá Portugal (BR) joins forces with Berlin percussionists Burkhard Beins (DE) and Emilio Gordoa (MX) to form the percussion trio EROSÃO, which releases its debut album today on the labels Kassiani Records and Fun in The Church. Their performances, deeply rooted in improvisation, draw on a wide variety of percussion instruments, from traditional drums to more unusual instruments. The trio's sound is enriched by the percussive use of electric bass and live electronic processing, creating a unique musical identity where Brazilian popular music meets Berlin Echtzeitmusik. Initially formed to perform Portugal's album EROSÃO, released in 2021, the trio EROSÃO PERCUSSION TRIO today releases an album produced by Mariá Portugal, offering new pieces that extend their shared exploration of percussive and vocal sonorities. The album will be available on May 1st on the Berlin labels Kassiani Records and Fun in The Church. The trio's work fuses composed structures and improvisation, using untuned percussion (drums, rubbed cymbals, metal objects, wood, straws, chains and other unconventional percussive instruments). The trio also incorporates field recordings and live sound treatments by Gordoa, as well as a percussive electric bass played by Beins. All these elements interact dynamically with Portugal's voice, alternating between fusion and contrast, thus reflecting the very essence of their sonic exploration.The percussion trio EROSÃO came to life as a stage project for Mariá Portugal's album EROSÃO, fusing her Brazilian musical roots with free improvisation and electronic experimentation. To bring this project to the stage, Portugal invited Gordoa and Beins, two renowned percussionists from the Berlin Echtzeitmusik scene. Their diverse cultural backgrounds combine to create a unique collective sound and an innovative creative process, which is reflected in their new album - the result of a long period of research and collective composition, during which electric bass and electronics enriched the group's percussive palette. Recorded at Morphine Raum in Berlin, the album features new compositions by Portugal, \"Cordilheira\", \"Corda\" and \"Tripa\", as well as new interpretations of Brazilian classics: \"Pulsar\" by Caetano Veloso and Augusto de Campos, and \"Correnteza\" by Tom Jobim and Luiz Bonfá. It highlights the interaction between Portugal's voice, deeply rooted in the Brazilian musical tradition, and the untempered sonorities of percussion. These soundscapes, sometimes long and contemplative, sometimes energetic and exuberant, transcend the conventional harmonic boundaries of musical arrangement, paving the way for a rich and unpredictable sonic experience.
