Jonathan Ferr

Jonathan Ferr

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Jonathan Ferr embodies Brazil’s vibrant and rhythmic soul, influenced by musical styles like samba, frevo, and forró. But his path as an artist is anything but conventional – Ferr blends these traditional Brazilian rhythms with genres like jazz, neo-soul, hip-hop, and electronic music.

The result is what some call “Brazilian urban jazz,” a fusion that might remind you of music by artists like Ondřej Pivec in Central Europe or names like Thundercat, Robert Glasper, or Kamasi Washington from the North American scene.

However, Ferr’s artistic expression goes beyond composing and playing the piano. He communicates through film and fashion as well, yet his core message remains rooted in the unique fusion of symphonic African jazz and contemporary urban attitudes, ranging from lyrical to ritualistic. Having already shared his futuristic vision of jazz at numerous festivals across Brazil and internationally in Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands, Ferr is now set to perform in Ostrava with his quartet. If anyone were to remake Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, Ferr would undoubtedly be the perfect choice for the soundtrack.
