Info for O Vôo da Mosca

O Voo da Mosca (Flight of the Fly) is a collection of luscious, evocative Latin American dance music stylishly arranged and performed by The Ambar Music Group. The ensemble is a collaboration of three Colombian musicians and a Russian violinist. In addition to classical training, some of the group's members have also been involved in traditional music from a very early age. Their repertory is carefully chosen in a way that allows each member to express their individual personalities, thus offering an original interpretation at each performance.

The AMBAR group is the result of a collaboration of three Colombian musicians and a Russian violinist. Each one of them contributes to the group in a singular way from his personal experience. In addition to their classical training, some of them have also been involved from a very early age in traditional music. The group’s repertory is carefully chosen in away that allows each member to express their individual personalities, thus offering an original interpretation at each performance.

AMBAR currently performs a wide repertory of Latin American music in which three countries are emphasized: Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil. Colombian music is represented by the Bambucoand the Pasillo or Colombian Waltz, indigenousto the Andes Region, the Cumbia and the Porrofrom the Caribbean coast and the Joropofrom the Oriental region. This region, through which the Orinoco Riverpasses is a great valley shared by Colombia and Venezuela as a single culture. Besides this region, Venezuela is represented in the group’s repertory by the Vals Venezolano.

The AMBAR group also explores the Brazilian Choro. This genre had a great popularity at the beginning of the 20th century in the same way as Bambuco and Pasillo did in Colombia. Choro means 'lament' in Portuguese. This 'saudade' (nostalgia) filled music is a major partof their repertory, as well as more festive music!

Since the formation of Ambar in 2000, the group have performed at many prestigious festivals and in concert halls throughout Europe, including Salle Gaveau in Paris and The Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow accompanied by State Academic Chamber Orchestra of Russia.
