Walkabout
Vasco Pimentel Trio
For Pimentel, Walkabout is a journey towards musical identity, via rhythmic musical play on the one hand, and a sensitivity to deeper meaning on the other. He is particularly fascinated by the playful concept of rhythmic illusion, setting up certain expectations, illusions and surprises in listeners’ minds, encouraging us towards varying, often mesmerising perceptions of rhythm and time. Walkabout represents a rite of passage from a younger stage of life towards a more mature one, encapsulating Pimentel’s musical journey of self-discovery.
