Funk fuelled and global pointingBrazilian jazz trio Caixa Cubo are set to release their latest single Dreams. It is the group's first foray into R'n'B melding the simple and sporadic instrumentation of drums, keys and bass into a Jill Scott inspired song that could have been born in Brooklyn yet sung by Brazilian singer and Grammy nominated Xênia França and Zé Leônidas, sung in both English and Portuguese.

With shoots to black music culture, from Brazil to Ghana and South Africa, new album Agôra is sparkling with electric funk and Herbie Hancock eclecticism. It shines not only for its virtuosity but also for its minimalism, it's depth of space, and for the first time, it's ability to figure outside the jazz fold, as the trio from São Paulo decided to bring in singers and add a new aesthetic to their sound. Guests include Brazilians Xênia França and Zé Leônidas, Jembaa Groove's Ghanaian singer Eric Owusu and South African artists Bongani Givethanks & Mpho Nkuzo. It follows on from their 2020 hit album Angela released on Heavenly Recordings.
