Roberto Taufic & Eduardo Taufic
The Duo Taufic is the result of the union of two experienced musicians, Roberto and Eduardo Taufic celebrating a more than familiar partnership. The versatility and the peculiar sound of the Duo reveals the musical knowledge acquired over the years and the immense creative content provided by the dialogue between the guitar and the piano. Descendants of Arabians, the two Taufic brothers awakened a love of music since childhood, always encouraged by their parents and family.
The new CD called “D’Anima“, released in 2018, is completely inspired by the power of music to constantly change the world into an even better place, spiritually and humanly evolved where the energy and the power of music break the limits of the sound to touch the soul of the ones who listen to It. Thus D’Anima arose, which in Italian means “from the soul”. Once again the Duo Taufic impresses the listener with new compositions always focusing on strong melodies and ingrained on the special sound of the Duo, masterfully orchestrating the piano and the guitar in the service of a common space, a full harmony and a clear and true sounding. It features thirteen songs, eleven authorial and 2 reinterpretations: “O Último Pau De Arara” by Corumbá and Venâncio, and “Lôro” by Egberto Gismonti, who is also honored with the track that names the album: “D’Anima”.
The first original work of the Duo was released in 2011 on the album “Bate Rebate” also released in special edition in Japan. Their careers took geographically different paths, promoting the absorption of such a diverse as rich sonority, showing a perfect harmony in a pleasant Music chat between the two musicians. The Duo Taufic is full of spontaneity and improvisation, Brazilianness and lyricism, rhythms and colors, limpid melodies that are amplified in the soul of those who listen to it. The two brothers show all their musical excellence in the beautiful and sophisticated sound where the thread of the work is the respect and affection for universal music without limits, without labels and without missing the strong cultural influence of northeastern Brazil.

“Two brothers like I’ve rarely seen. How they love each other … (and make us know that through chords, melodies, silences, vents, gestures, cries, laughter and musical chuckle). And how beautifully they talk! With a crystalline and clear affection flowing from heart to heart, no noise, no filters. Voice of the natural instrument, necessary and clear: sound that hits and hit again, echoes, resonates and amplifies in the soul of the listeners. And it makes us happy. That’s how good music is… made with much love, talent, care, rigor and spontaneity”
