TRE
Latin guitar, Afro-Brazilian grooves and jazz fusion... The sound of Rodrigo Simoes asserts itself with this new concept album under the sign of 3. From samba to baião via conga, Simoes enjoys making ternary compositions with the styles of Brazilian popular music, which gives new inspired grooves. With his trio and his guests, the musician delivers vibrant and joyful music.
