Gilberto de Syllos Biography
Gilberto de Syllos is a Brazilian musician and has been a professional bassist and music professor for more than 30 years. Born Gilberto de Syllos Rosa in Campinas, Brazil, on 27 April 1967 he is now based in São Paulo, where he teaches music and performs as a solo artist and with a wide variety of popular Brazilian and international acts.
His first CD, Tocando Baixo (1996), was nominated for the Prêmio Sharp in 1997.
Since 2002, he has been on the faculty at Faculdade de Música Souza Lima in São Paulo, teaching the Electric and Acoustic Bass programs as well as Music History, Theory, and Ear Training.[1]
When describing the Seo Manouche project, De Syllos remarked “I am part of a small group of Brazilian musicians that are interpreters and performers of the style made famous by Django Reinhardt. I am a founding member of the Hot Jazz Club, pioneers in this style since 2003, with 3 CDs released. I started observing several Brazilian gypsy jazz musicians came from a sophisticated academic world, unlike the European performers. As a matter of fact, there was no tradition in the style in Brazil, however, in the last 5 years, several CDs have been released, with new bands being formed. One of the qualities of such a style in Brazil is that most of the performers follow a blend with the rich universe of Brazilian rhythms such as samba, maxixe, xóte, and frevo, with the result being a sort of hybrid music. For this reason, I consider it most important for my research this previous experience with the Brazilian manouche jazz, which has resulted in enthusiasm and new interpretations of a rhythm that has been played form for more than 80 years in Europe.”
He was praised by The New York Times critics and referred to as “the genial Gilberto de Syllos” [9] for his work on the show “da Corda pro Pé” on Broadway in 2006.
He composed the soundtrack to Diego Ruiz de Aquino and Helton Ladeira’s award-winning short film “Noir” (2007).
De Syllos has been a columnist for the Brazilian Edition of Bass Player magazine (2012/2013), writing articles about acoustic and upright bass playing [8].
De Syllos himself, when describing the Basstucada project, commented: “When choosing the performances, I considered the importance of the musicians involved in each project, the period in which such performances occurred (from 2013 to 2016), how demanding each of the musical performances were, and how successful they were. As a bassist and interpreter of bass lines in each of these concerts, I needed full knowledge of several elements that characterize the music as a language, resulting in an adequate and different interpretation. Basstucada was the performance that had the greatest impact of all, for it was the celebration of 30 years of my career as a musician and composer. It was also the performance that generated the production and recording of the DVD, which comes with the testimony from all the musicians involved in the project and such a format resulted in “didactic performance”. During the testimonies/interviews, the musicians gave explanations about the function of each instrument and their context within the Basstucada concert. Basstucada is an instrumental performance where I use the bass as an extension of my own body, with moments of great interaction with the audience as is the case of “In prompt to you”, which is an improvisation number where musician and audience interact beautifully”.
”Gilberto de Syllos has an in depth vision of music. This is the result of his multiple activities and talents: musician, composer, producer, researcher and teacher. For each of these talents, one shall add yet some other qualities: virtuoso, inspired, competent, curious, generous – and that is the recipe for a great artist. Basstucada comprises three decades of a career lived onstage, in the studio and on books, where de Syllos has taught us the rightful place of the bass guitar in Brazilian popular music.” (Alexandre Pavan – journalist and author of “Timoneiro – Perfil Biográfico de Hermínio Bello de Carvalho”).
The Basstucada concert was performed on September 15, 2013 at the Sesc Theater in Campinas, SP, Brazil. Video made available on Youtube on April 28, 2015.
Since 2013 he has been the bass player of the Orquestra Rock de Campinas (SP) in spectacles produced and directed by conductor and Martin Lazarov.[7]
In 2014, he received a special invitation by the Campinas Symphonic Orchestra to play with singer/composer Ivan Lins [6] in the celebrations of the orchestra’s 85th anniversary.
Gilberto de Syllos has taken gipsy jazz with so much passion, he has even changed his stage name to Seo Manouche (Brazilian Portuguese for Mister Manouche) whenever he plays this style of music. [10] His first album for this project, the eponymous Seo Manouche, contains original gypsy jazz songs sung in Brazilian Portuguese as shown in the local press and the Brazilian Edition of Bass Player magazine [11]. Seo Manouche brings to light a unique universe where Brazilian root music and gipsy jazz are blended together. In 2015 he released both the CD and the awarded video clip titled “Já Que Tá Que Fique”. In 2017, he released his second album named “Cavaquinho de Itu” in a partnership with songwriter Carlos Castelo (Língua de Trapo)[12].
In 2015 he produced the show “Basstucada” (available in English and Portuguese on Youtube which was recorded live at the Sesc Campinas. Basstucada covers the entire career of De Syllos as a player and as a composer.
De Syllos performed with the Bina Coquet Trio in 2017 at the prestigious Django Amsterdam Festival in Holland, where they were cast as showing “a new sound combining Brazilian music with gypsy jazz and Django Reinhardt”[13] and received great reviews from Qintette magazine for his performance. Seo Manouche was the first act to be invited by musicologist Zuza Homem de Mello in his project “Zuzando nas Notas”.
