so please be patient. If you like 2 guitars and congas performing Latin styles,

performance.
Requirements of the musicians in Savore
All musicians involved with Savore must be able to
perform improvisation as a standard requirement to be part of the trio.
We are purely instrumental and have endeavoured to
create specific feels for the specific styles of Latin we perform: Samba,
Bossa, Bolero, Rumba, Cha Cha and Tango.
Each song we play will have a portion of improvisation
included to add flavoured contrast and character to the melody and style. Most
songs will last from 5 to 10 minutes in duration.
About
the musicians in Savore
Owen Thomson
Owen on nylon string guitar is an extraordinary player,
capable of performing superb melodies and exhilarating improvisation. He is a master
of the guitar and a gifted natural as well as being fully trained with his
Masters in Music.
Owen is quick to pick up ideas and make them flow
through to his guitar like it is an extension of his soul.
He is adept at sight reading and capable of memorizing
a piece of music on the night making it flow as naturally as a river flowing to
the sea. You can play a melody line and he will mimic it without hesitation (if
requested to do so).
His playing ability is unique and a must to listen to
if you find the chance and occasion.
Owen has composed a number of Latin tunes, all of
which are performed as repertoire in Savore.
Raju
Sharma
Raju on congas is a gifted percussionist/drummer who
has been an integral part of Savore keeping the
groove to enable the guitarists’
freedom to experiment and move around in a piece of music.
Raju is trained on many different types of percussion and
drums and is more than capable of performing some stunning solos in the middle
of a piece of music when requested to do so by either Owen or Chris.
With Savore he plays congas and uses the instrument to
its extreme at times, something other players would not think of doing (must be
the lateral thinking kicking in).
He will use whatever he needs to bring out an idea or
sound, be it tapping on the metal tuning keys of the congas or the metal rim.
When you get Raju excited, watch out because he will
bring the house down with his superb and exciting ideas and grooves. Well worth
his Indian blood in gold.
Chris Gogerly
Chris also on nylon string guitar is one of the founding
members of Savore and crossed over to Latin music without looking back when
offered the position as guitarist about six years ago.
Chris plays by feel and soaks into the pieces with a
smooth laid back feel enticing and also exciting. He has the ability to lock in
sweet melodic zones tickling your backbone as he soaks into his improvisations
with the boys supporting him all the way.
Chemistry is an important combination of the trio
which Chris feels with every beat, bar & nuance provided by Owen and Raju. It’s a bit like being a mind reader gauging the
feeling, whilst improvising. Knowing when the others are locked into your
groove creates the exhilarating moments of life which goes beyond conventional
thought and into the realms of the sublime.
Yes one would say he lives for the music and the love
of jamming and improvisation. It’s so exciting; you can’t help but enjoy the
enthusiasm and spirit of the music.
Chris (also like Owen) enjoys composing tunes for the
trio.
