Rewiring the concept of 'fusion' for 2023, Agôra is Brazilian trio Caixa Cubo's resurgent new album with the title referring to 'now', based upon the intuitive and fluid nature of the trio's method. With shoots to black music culture, from Brazil to Brooklyn, Ghana and South Africa, Agôrais sparkling with electric funk and Herbie-esque eclecticism, from a group who are making waves following their international breakthrough with 2020's album Angela.

Debut single Sábado is a funk ridden and electrified future jazz-fizz, a homage to the frenetic city of São Paulo where the band met and fermented together. Featuring long time collaborator and vocalist Zé Leônidas, who delivers a fiery flow, with vocals dancing around the Airto inspired groove, with cuicas,tamborim, agogo and shakers providing the most obvious Brazilian affect from the new album Agôra.
