caixa cubo: modo avião
Francisco Espregueira
São Paulo-based trio Caixa Cubo returns with their latest album, Modo Avião via Far Out Recordings. Drawing inspiration from Brazilian musical legends like Azymuth, Antonio Adolfo, Cesar Mariano, and Marcos Resende, the group has crafted another chapter in their trip through a very unique blend of jazz-funk and samba-jazz.

The album features intricate rhythms, soulful melodies, and captivating improvisations. The trio's deep understanding of Brazilian music history allows them to explore the rich tapestry of Brazilian sounds, from carnival marches and frevo to MPB and funk.
