LUCAS ETCHEVERRIA
– MUSICIAN & COMPOSER –
BIO
Lucas Etcheverria hails from Brazil and currently resides in Hamburg, Germany. His music draws from a vibrant blend of jazz, Brazilian music, and progressive rock/metal.
His latest work, the album The Great Puzzle, was released in January 2024. This marks his first album of original compositions, featuring performances in both quintet and quartet settings with Björn Atle Anfinsen (trumpet), Jonas Oppermann (piano), Giorgi Kiknadze (double bass), and Rafa Müller (drums). The album has been well-received, gaining recognition on worldwide playlists, blogs, and regional TV shows.
Back in Brazil, he released his EP Ways Ahead (2019), which features a selection of jazz standards performed alongside renowned musicians like Kiko Freitas (drums) and Edu Martins (double bass).
Lucas is an active member of several musical acts, including PEACE Trio, GIDAM, Tudo Azul, Lucas Etcheverria Standards Trio and Intelligent Design. Additionally, he's played in Alex Petratos Strings and Lutes and Yuliia Holub Trio.
His performances have taken him to stages across Brazil, Germany, England, Italy, and, most recently, Japan, as part of the release tour for his duo GIDAM, with the singer Mai Linh Dang. Some notable venues and festivals where he has performed include ELBJAZZ, Vibraphonissimo Festival, Hamburg.stream, JazzHall Hamburg, Hamburger Rathaus, Jazz Kitchen, Cheltenham Festival (UK), International Jazz Day (BR), and Musik Week Asciano (IT), with frequent appearances in Hamburg and its surrounding areas.
Lucas is also a former scholarship holder of the Franz-Wirth-Gedächtnis Stiftung.

NEWEST RELEASE
THE GREAT PUZZLE
Lucas Etcheverria brings a handful of songs which translate some of his thoughts on certain human feelings and common social behaviours. Most of the songs were inspired by attributes such as pride, ego, fear, joy, admiration and inner peace.
The band brings this concept to life with a mix of sensibility, dialogue and impactful energy. The group explores different scenarios in an overall dark-nostalgic mood.
The listener can expect a spectrum that goes since contemporary souding songs like "Asciano" and "Deconstruct", to brazilian-inspired rhythms like in "Pontestrela" and "Nuvem", until intense rock-like moments like in "Resilience". In addition to that, the album brings the nostalgic short ballad "Daily Reminder" and an up-tempo song with influences from traditional jazz, "The Value of Innocence".
