Matheus Donato

Matheus Donato, a virtuoso of the six-string cavaquinho, is the heir to a rich Brazilian musical tradition, which he reinvents with talent and sensitivity. With great artistic maturity and a deep respect for his roots, he gives a unique voice to an instrument that he has fully made his own, always with authenticity and a remarkable standard of excellence in each of his musical creations.

As the charismatic leader of his trio, he pursues an ambitious exploration in which tradition and modernity interact naturally. His innovative approach to the six-string cavaquinho pushes its boundaries and reveals new possibilities, creating a unique bridge between Brazil’s ancestral rhythms and contemporary musical expressions.

Alongside him, the inventive percussion of Zé Luis Nascimento and the piano of Leo Montana – who reinterprets and transforms every musical space – provide the perfect backdrop for the melodies and soaring passages of his cavaquinho.
