Born and raised in Recife, Pernambuco, and based in Berlin since 2019, percussionist, singer and composer Aduni Guedes brings a musical journey shaped by Brazil, Africa and the Diaspora. A founding member of Sonic Interventions, winner of the 2025 German Jazz Prize, he has also performed and recorded with artists including Àbáse, Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, Noah Slee and others.
Drawing on this journey, Aduni presents Gira Jazz, a new musical gathering rooted in Jazz de Terreiro.
Jazz de Terreiro is a musical language pioneered by Brazilian pianist, singer and composer Ifátókí Maíra Freitas through her solo work and the all-women collective Jazz das Minas. It brings jazz into dialogue with sacred songs and rhythmic traditions from Umbanda and Candomblé.
Following this path with respect for its origins, Gira Jazz brings the rhythmic languages of Afro-Brazilian sacred traditions into dialogue with jazz, R&B and hip-hop.
Percussion leads the way, improvisation keeps the music open, and the session explores the connections between Black musical traditions across the globe through groove and collective playing.
You don’t need to know these traditions beforehand. Gira Jazz is an invitation to encounter them through live music, improvisation and rhythm.
Join us for the first Gira Jazz on December 19 at Badehaus Berlin.
