TRIO Xaxará
Release:
Having the Brazilian music as its foundation, the trio was created in 2019 through the friendship and profound musical affinity among Lucas Bonetti (guitar), Lucas Brogiolo (percussion), and Cibele Palopoli (flute). The name of the group makes an allusion to an important Afro-Brazilian symbolic cultural reference associated with healing and positive energies. Along with this particular context, there is a careful and thoughtful repertoire research, that presents unique versions of paramount Brazilian compositions. Another characteristic is the combination of acoustic and electric instruments, occasionally associating numerous recording layers and exuberant sound manipulation.
