Biography

Ventre was an experimental rock power trio from Rio de Janeiro, formed in 2012 and active until 2018. Composed of Gabriel Ventura (guitar and vocals), Larissa Conforto (drums), and Hugo Noguchi (bass), the band stood out in the national indie scene for their intense live performances and visceral, original sound.

The trio released their self-titled debut album in 2015, a critically acclaimed work exploring themes such as sex, separation, and isolation with a dense sound and influences ranging from Queens of the Stone Age and PJ Harvey to Jeff Buckley and Gonzaguinha. In 2016, they recorded the DVD "Ao vivo no Méier", celebrating the first anniversary of their debut album. In 2018, they released the EP "Saudade (O Corte)", marking the end of the band's activities.

Following the end of Ventre, the members pursued their individual projects. Gabriel Ventura continued his career with Cícero and in other projects. Hugo Noguchi went on to play with the bands SLVDR and Posada e o Clã, as well as working as a music producer. Larissa Conforto launched her solo project ÀIYÉ and moved to Portugal, exploring new sounds and artistic paths.
