Sounds and colors of Sanma: Jonas Pacheco

The musical soul of Sanma: meet Jonas Pacheco, the pianist who transforms moments into memories

Hospitality, in its purest form, is not just made of soft sheets or imposing architecture. It is made of sensations. It is the aroma of fresh coffee, the light that enters through the window, and, fundamentally, the soundtrack that accompanies these moments.

At Sanma Hotel, we believe that art is the thread that connects comfort to emotion. That's why we are proud to launch today our series "Sounds and Colors of Sanma", a space dedicated to revealing the talents and stories that bring life and personality to our hotel. To start, we invite you to sit comfortably and listen to the story of the one who choreographs the atmosphere of our lobby: Jonas Pacheco Lemes, our resident pianist.

A life dedicated to the keys

Just watch Jonas at the piano to realize that music is not just something he does; it is who he is. His journey began early, at just 6 years old, when his attentive ears began to decipher melodies on children's clarinets, accordions, and flutes. But it was the piano that captured his heart. 

From Rio Grande do Sul to Foz do Iguaçu, Jonas built a solid trajectory. What few know when they see him play so effortlessly is that his professional relationship with high-end hospitality in Foz began in his adolescence, at the age of 16. Since then, he has been a prominent figure in the most elegant settings of the city and even on stages in Rio de Janeiro.

Today, all this technical and emotional baggage finds a home at Sanma Hotel.

A repertoire that feels the environment

Jonas does not just play music; he interprets time. One of the most striking characteristics of our pianist is his sensitivity to reading the environment. His style, which he humbly defines as "eclectic", is actually a refined curation of feelings. The repertoire travels without borders: from the sophistication of Jazz and American instrumental music to the passion of Italian and French songs. He transitions gracefully through the classics of MPB and moves us when revisiting great themes of cinema. There is no rigid "setlist". There is the now. If the late afternoon calls for contemplation, the notes are soft. If the night calls for celebration, the rhythm comes alive.

Music as a sensory experience

Staying at Sanma is allowing yourself to live complete experiences. When you walk through the hotel and hear Jonas's piano, you are not just hearing background music. You are participating in an artistic dialogue. As Jonas himself often says, music has the power to "transform moments into eternity". And that is exactly what we seek to offer. Whether savoring a glass of wine, conversing with family, or simply observing the movement, the soundtrack of Sanma is there to ensure that memory has a color, a tone, and a special emotion.

Come live this experience. On your next visit to Sanma Hotel, take a moment to stop, listen, and let Jonas Pacheco's music guide your night. After all, here, art and hospitality hit the same note.
