Hamilton de Holanda in Concert

Hamilton de Holanda is one of Brazil’s most celebrated musicians—a global ambassador, virtuoso performer, and innovative improviser who began playing mandolin at age five and went on to redefine its 10-string form as a dynamic instrument bridging jazz, choro, and global styles. Shaped by family support, formal training in composition, and the vibrant choro street culture of Brasília, he has built a remarkable career marked by four Latin Grammy wins, 17 nominations, and international recognition, including a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Jazz Album.

A star in Brazil and a growing global presence, Hamilton is known for his electrifying performances and distinctive improvisational voice, reaching millions of listeners worldwide and amassing significant streaming success. Beyond performance, he co-founded the world’s first Choro School in Brasília in 1997 and played a key role in establishing Brazil’s National Day of Choro, reinforcing the genre’s cultural importance. His career is distinguished by collaborations with legendary artists across genres and performances at prestigious venues and major festivals around the world, as well as historic events like the Rio 2016 Olympic opening ceremony and the G20 Summit.

With a discography of over 40 albums and partnerships with major labels, he continues to expand his artistic reach, including an upcoming live album recorded in the U.S. featuring his trio and guest artist Chris Potter. Through his music, Hamilton de Holanda connects cultures, celebrates diversity, and continually pushes the boundaries of sound, solidifying his legacy as a true innovator.
