Solo piano · Interior

Original compositions and Northeastern Brazilian music, piano alone.

On Interior, Salomão brings to the solo piano the music he grew up in: the dance halls, the forró, Ariano Suassuna’s Armorial movement, the sertão of Guimarães Rosa — with readings of Hermeto Pascoal and Tom Jobim. The album was launched with a European tour; on hearing it, Hermeto wrote: “a marvel of an album”.

Long bio

232 words

Salomão Soares grew up in Cruz do Espírito Santo, in the countryside of Paraíba, starting out at local dances — his first schooling, long before any formal piano lessons. At 15, he began studying with Helinho Medeiros in João Pessoa; between 2008 and 2011, he worked as a pianist on cruise ships around South America. He moved to São Paulo in 2011 to study with André Marques, Hermeto Pascoal’s pianist, at the Tatuí Conservatory.

He has shared the stage with names such as Toninho Horta, João Bosco, Leny Andrade and Hermeto Pascoal, his greatest reference. He won the MIMO Instrumental Award and was a finalist at the Montreux Jazz Piano Competition (2017). He is a member of the Hamilton de Holanda Trio, with whom he won the 2025 Latin Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album, alongside saxophonist Chris Potter, on an album recorded live at Jazz at Lincoln Center — where he also performed as a guest of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. He also made a special guest appearance with Snarky Puppy in Alberobello, Italy.

His discography brings together Alegria de Matuto, Colorido Urbano, Baião de Dois (with Guegué Medeiros), Interior (solo piano, toured across Europe) and Espirais, alongside Chão de Flutuar, Yatra-Tá and Outros Ventos, in duo with Vanessa Moreno. His tours have already spanned five continents — from Japan to South Africa, from Europe to the United States and South America.
