Carmen Gomes Inc.

about

A performance by Carmen Gomes Inc. is an exploration of music. Because the members of the quartet know better than anyone that no two performances of a song can ever be the same and because it is perhaps precisely that exploration that is important. Because whether they play jazz, blues, soulful or with funk influences, the foursome discovered a long time ago that those small variations ensure that music never gets boring and that it is a challenge to play every night. In 2006, the group reinvented itself with the arrival of guitarist Folker Tettero. His bluesy sound provides just the little bit of weight Gomes needs to be able to lean her voice on his chords and riffs. This in turn gives bassist Peter Bjørnild and drummer Bert Kamsteeg more freedom, so that they challenge Gomes musically to go to extremes. And it shows. Her conservatoire-trained voice can moan, growl and lash out. She makes her songs personal and sincere, but at the same time challenging and compelling, full of passion and energy. Carmen Gomes Inc. revolves around four musicians who seek a perfect blend of individual expression and harmonious interplay. Music that is made by four people who understand that in the end only one is in charge. And that's the song.
