  • Bio

    Formed in 2009, Trio Agogo are one of the few Australian groups performing the Brazilian styles of Choro, Samba and gritty Forro. Their live show is a fiery display of one of the first true Brazilian instrumental music forms. The group has performed from festival and conservatorium stages to the gritty back lane bars and botequims around Australia All members of the group have lived, studied and traveled in Brazil, bringing a wealth of knowledge and understanding to their music. Their new recording "The story of Benjamin Constant" was conceived and written in Brazil and tells the story of the street where members of the group lived in Rio de Janeiro. Rua Benjamin Constant, a lively street in an inner suburb of Rio provides the backdrop and inspiration for the original compositions, which recreate the rich tapestry of Brazilian street life. For this recording, Trio Agogo have invited some of the most exciting musicians currently playing and Choro in Australia, and together they bring the range of textures and sounds to complete the authentic Brazilian sound. contact: paulcarey@smartchat.net.au www.trioagogo.com
