The Janeiro Trio consists of an established classical guitarist, a much-travelled bassist and a top international percussionist. The result is a unique crossover of classical guitar and latin jazz, inspired by South American composers such as Jobim, Almeida and Baden Powell. Performances can be tailored for any event, from background accompaniment for parties, dinners, weddings and corporate functions, to full concert performances.
This beautiful music encompasses many styles, from romantic and intimate sounds of the classical guitar, to the sophisticated ambience of latin jazz, through to the exciting rhythmic styles of authentic latin american tradition.
