"Kai Heumann´s Proyecto Guitarra Latina" - a group of longtime musical fellows - is formed with musicians, who belong to the cream of the German Latin scene: Musicians from bands like Salsa Picante, Tierra Latina,Tumbao, Sergio Mansilla Ensemble etc.
Compositions of Tito Puente, Antonio Carlo Jobim, Luis Bonfa, Heitor Villa Lobos, Mariano Mores, Astor Piazzola and Kai Heumann are authentically interpreted in their own way.
In 2003 the group was founded by Kai Heumann where his Guitar is accompanied by Percussion, bass, Piano and guitar .
This Setup can be extended and/or changed as the different Stiles require, to be able to play them in an authentic way, which means that the guitar is accompanied by a Salsa- or Latinjazzband by a Tango-, Folklore- or a Sambaensemble! This requieres well trained musicians which are able to play all these Stiles.
Wellknown professional Musicians of the Latinscene like
- Jorge Oliva, Cuba - Percussion / Voc
- Wolfgang Eichler, Germany - Piano
- Jorge Anchieta, El Savador - Guitar & Tres
- Harald Eller, Germany -Double bass
are his Sidemen!
The improvisation is very important for this spontaneous musicians - without it this lively music would not be the same. That makes things happen which never had be done before nor can be repeatet and allways sounds fresh and unique.
Salsa, Tango, Samba
(to name only the most well-known Latin American Rhythms played here)united in a guitar concert - a unique project which is really spectacular.
