What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like

What We Say

The sounds of Brazilian jazz get some Afro-vocal assistance, revel in golden era fusion vibes and ooze deep nu-soul in this beautifully crafted LP from Sao Paulo trio Caixa Cubo, ably supported by the dependable Jazz & Milk Records. From spiritual samba to sultry late night soul & firing jazz dance, it's strictly all killer no filler.

What The Release Notes Say


Global pointing Brazilian jazz trio Caixa Cubo release their brand new album Agôra, sparkling with electric funk and Herbie-esque eclecticism. It features a myriad of guest vocalists and musicians including Brazilians Xênia França and Zé Leônidas, Jembaa Groove's Ghanaian singer Eric Owusu and South African artists Bongani Givethanks & Mpho Nkuzo.

In line with all their creations where flow and energy provide the magic, allowing what the moment provides, the album shines not only for its virtuosity but for its minimalism, the depth of space, and for the first time, the ability to figure in and outside of the jazz fold, as the trio decided, for the first time, to bring in singers and add a new aesthetic to their sound.

“Agôra is a wake-up call to reality, a reminder that the infinite possibilities of technological progress should not disconnect us from the earth, from eye-to-eye relationships, and from moments lived in person” the band are keen to point out. “And that we must not be consumed by greed, for all we truly possess.... is the NOW.”
