O Walterama teve início em 2008 quando um grupo de músicos viu a necessidade de homenagear um dos gaitistas mais revolucionários do blues, o americano Little Walter. Contudo, a idéia de montar um simples tributo não agradou e os músicos resolveram ir além.
Assim, seis músicos formaram o projeto Walterama, que se baseou em musicas de Walter para produzir composições inéditas, que mostram o potencial da gaita em ambientes musicais ainda pouco explorados pelo instrumento, como o uso inesperado da gaita tocada em naipe. O projeto não tem como objetivo apenas divulgar a obra do gaitista americano, mas também usa de sua “ideologia” para ir além.
Nos anos 50, Little Walter e seus companheiros de Chicago trouxeram ao blues uma roupagem nova, introduzindo a guitarra elétrica e a banda ao som que vinha de New Orleans. Little Walter ligou sua gaita a um amplificador, deixando-a tão forte quanto o restante do grupo. Junto de outros músicos, incluindo Muddy Waters, eles mostraram que o blues poderia se renovar, ganhando novos espaços, passando das ruas para as casas noturnas.
Com esse mesmo intuito, Walterama mostra que a gaita, conhecida tradicionalmente entre os músicos de blues e folk, pode ultrapassar fronteiras e ir para outros campos, como o funk/soul e o jazz, apresentando a abrangência ilimitada do instrumento.
Dirigido por Fernando Xavier, produzido e composto por Bruno Buzzo, o projeto Walterama é formado por Bruno no baixo, Igor Brasil na guitarra, Raphael Gonçalves na bateria e um naipe inédito de gaitas, que mostram que três diferentes abordagens para o instrumento promovem uma sonoridade única. Rodrigo Eisinger sopra a gaita cromática, Paulo Gazela se concentra na sonoridade blues da diatônica e Fernando Xavier traz uma técnica em que uma única gaita diatônica em Dó se transforma em um instrumento ilimitado na execução em outras tonalidades.
O Walterama segue fazendo shows para divulgar álbum, que tem previsão de lançamento para dezembro. Já tocaram no festival Unigaita, na Unicamp; Expomusic 2008 em São Paulo e em festivais da região, como o Festival de Música Instrumental de Santa Bárbara D’Oeste e Encontro Campineiro de Gaitistas.

The project Walterama began when a group of musicians felt the need to celebrate one of the most revolutionary harmonica players of the Blues, the American Little Walter. However, the idea of a simple tribute didn’t please and these musicians decided to go beyond that.
Settled that, six musicians formed the project Walterama, which is based on the songs of Little Walter to produce original compositions, which show the harmonica potential into musical experiences still little explored by the instrument, such as the use of the instrument like a horn section. The project doesn’t have the objective to only promote the work of the American harmonica player, but also to use its ideology to go beyond.
In the 50’s, Little Walter and his Chicago colleagues brought to the Blues a new face, introducing the electric guitar and the band to the sound that came from New Orleans. Little Walter plugged his harmonica into an amplifier, making it as loud as the rest of the group. Altogether with other musicians, Muddy Waters included, they showed that the Blues could be renewed, spreading out to new audiences, moving from the streets to the nightclubs.
Following the same spirit, Walterama shows that the harmonica, traditionally known among Blues and Folk musicians, can go further other fields, such as Funk, Soul and Jazz, proving the boundless reach of the instrument.
Directed by Fernando Xavier, produced and composed by Bruno Buzzo, the Walterama project’s line up features Bruno Buzzo (bass guitar), Igor Brasil (guitar), Raphael Golçalves (drums), and a new harmonica section, which promote a unique sound. Rodrigo Eisinger plays the chromatic harmonica; Paulo Gazela concentrates on the bluesy sound of the diatonic harmonica, and Fernando Xavier brings a technique where a single C diatonic harmonica is transformed into a limitless instrument, also reaching other scales.
Walterama is on the road promoting its album, released in early 2009. The project has already played in the Unigaita festival, at Unicamp (State University of Campinas); the Expomusic 2008 in São Paulo, and several other festivals around Sao Paulo state, including the Instrumental Music Festival of Santa Bárbara D’Oeste and the Harmonica Meeting of Campinas.
