Mixtape #147

caixacubo.com.br

A prominent force in the Brazilian jazz scene, Caixa Cubo have been making waves internationally since starting the project back in 2007. Made up of long-time friends Henrique Gomide (keys), João Fideles (drums) and Noa Stroeter (bass), the three forward-thinking musicians, hailing from São Paulo, have been exploring new sonic territories whilst developing their own musical language. With a knack for improvisation, the trio’s compositions boast spontaneity and meticulousness in equal measure. Last Friday Caixa Cubo released their eighth full-length album, Agôra, an intoxicating and beguiling record bursting at the seams with grooves and energy. So we’re stoked they found the time to pick a few favourite artists and tracks for our monthly mixtape, lovingly mixed by Chris Dusty from their label Jazz & Milk.
