about
Alberto Continentino is one of Brazil's most dynamic musical forces – an amazing bassist, innovative composer, and visionary producer who bridges generations of Brazilian music. Born into a family of musicians, he grew up immersed in jazz and MPB, discovering the bass as a teenager and quickly becoming one of the country's most in-demand session players. By age 20, Alberto was touring the world with @Caetano Veloso , launching a remarkable career that spans collaborations with Brazilian legends (@Gilberto Gil , @Milton Nascimento , @João Donato , Marcos Valle ) and contemporary stars (@Ana Frango Elétrico, @Baco Exu do Blues , Dora Morelenbaum). Now stepping firmly into the spotlight as a solo artist, Alberto's work reveals his full creative range. His third album, to be released June 2025 via selo RISCO, showcases his evolution into a frontman, crafting dreamy experimental pop-jazz from abstract poetry by collaborators like @Silvia Machete and @Negro Leo. The album highlights his multi-instrumental talents (bass, synths, arranger) and features mesmerizing female vocals, with mix by Kassin and Mario Caldato. Whether holding down the groove for music royalty, reinventing MPB traditions with his genre-blending solo work, or mentoring the next generation, Alberto Continentino remains at the heart of Brazilian music's constant evolution – always respecting its roots while fearlessly pushing forward.
