The three musicians from Cologne promise compositions with rhythmic jazz and gripping melodies. The South American musical influences of Henrique Gomide from Brazil and Jean Louc Cammas from Chile, together with the African playing style of the Dutch Antoine Duijkers, form the basis of their compositions and improvisations. They will release their first album in 2020.

NAU Trio is about to release their first album, which will be released in early 2020. Under the title In the Ocean, this first album is a journey through rhythms from South America and Africa and melodies that captivate the audience.

The three young musicians from Chile, Brazil and the Netherlands present a musical journey through different countries, in search of their individual sound. This trio connects their friendship and their mutual interest in their respective fields and offers them the ideal environment to play authentically and decisively.

Henrique Gomide
The Brazilian pianist devoted himself primarily to classical and Brazilian music during his musical career. His mastery of the styles of choro and samba jazz as well as his broad musical education distinguish him as a pianist and composer.

Jean Cammas
The bass player from Chile brings his virtuoso playing of Latin American music to Germany. His great sensitivity for making music and composing creates a successful mix of jazz and Latin.

Antoine Duijkers
After completing his formal music studies, the Dutch drummer traveled to West Africa to study with various African master drummers. In his music, he combines traditional jazz drums with traditional African drums - such as Djembe, Doundoun, Nder, Mbeng Mbeng, Cól - accompanied by small percussion instruments that allow him a wide range of sounds.)
