Latin jazz band

London

Public liability insurance of £10 million

A Brazilian project by the name of ‘Trio Rio’, the ensemble has cut its teeth on the UK scene, performing alongside some of the UK’s finest Brazilian music specialists, including Joao Menezes, acclaimed instrumentalist Parthenope, and samba ensemble Rhythms of the City, at packed venues across London, including Jamboree, Jam in a Jar, and Hampstead Jazz Club. Artfully combining the vibrancy of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival with the intimacy and sophistication of Bossa Nova and Jazz, this small but tight-knit unit of musicians bring a refreshing take on the music of Brazil, with the perfect soundtrack to any event setting. With an available line-up ranging from duo to quintet, with the addition of vocalists and front-line instrumentalists (saxophone / flute), the ensemble is as flexible as is required to meet any client’s requirements.

Trio Rio's Reviews

5 out of 5

upon recommendation from a colleague, I booked Trio Rio for a small private party for friends and family. I was worried about noise limitations with having close neighbours, but the guys were really sensitive and accommodating, and kept things lovely and chill. highly recommend these professional, lovely musicians!

Trio Rio were perfect for my wedding reception earlier this year, they were super co-operative and they even got us all up and dancing! We opted to add a singer to make them a Quartet, and Parthenope (I hope i spelled it correctly!) was amazing. definitely reccommend!
