Led by three outstanding artists in the contemporary Brazilian music-scene, this trio offers a fresh and powerful take on Brazil’s musical heritage—rooted in tradition yet firmly connected to today’s sound.
The ensemble brings together the virtuoso contrabassista Matheus Nicolaiewsky, the amazing pianist Henrique Gomide, and the renowned drummer/percussionist Mauro Martins.
This trio presents groove-driven, modern arrangements of works by Edu Lobo, Tom Jobim, Djavan, Hermeto Pascoal, Dominguinhos, and other giants of Brazil’s vast musical landscape.
From samba to baião and maracatu, these rhythms provide the foundation—expanded by tight interplay, Herbie-esque harmonic surprises, and a contemporary improvisational spark that energizes every audience.
Matheus Nicolaiewsky, one of Brazil’s most distinctive young bassists, is known for his close collaborations with Francesca Tandoi, Stochelo Rosenberg, as well as for playing and recording with Kiko Freitas, Peter Bernstein, Ivan Lins, the WDR Big Band, and for his acclaimed debut album with Yotam Silberstein. His deep groove, melodic sensitivity, and contemporary approach to Brazilian rhythm are a core part of the trio’s sound.
Henrique Gomide is a key figure in the Brazilian jazz-scene in Europe, known for his work with Caixa Cubo and collaborations with Toninho Horta, Yamandu Costa, and Guinga. https://www.henriquegomide.com/

What is Dramtune?
The Dramtune Foundation was established in The Hague in 2009, after its founder, Sandro Bruti, had already spent many years developing a deep passion for traditional music, particularly from Scotland, Ireland and Italy.
Since then, this love of music has been shared wholeheartedly with friends and fellow music lovers, combined with good wine, good whisky and, of course, Italian delicacies from the country of his father, specifically the area around the volcanic Lake Bolsena in northern Lazio.
Over the years, Dramtune has provided a stage for many hundreds of musicians across a wide range of musical styles, from jazz, funky soul, blues and Latin to tango, gypsy, Americana, country and folk rock. It has also featured traditional music from, among others, Scotland, Africa, Mexico, Ireland, Italy, Brittany, Iraq, Turkey, Hungary, Romania and Greece.
