Caixu Cubo

“ Brazilian Jazz Sensation“ Music Is My Sanctuary

“ São Paulo's finest'' BBC6

“An interaction that is rarely offered so perfectl.“ Wolfgang Sandner, biographer of Miles Davis and Keith Jarret

São Paulo based trio Caixa Cubo is jetting further forth from the lineage of Brazilian instrumental music.

Reimagining Brazilian grooves from the 1970s, Caixa Cubo delves deeper into the tradition of Brazilian instrumental, adding a more contemporary twist.

​​Following in the footsteps of heroes like Azymuth, Antonio Adolfo, Cesar Mariano and Marcos Resende, with the tried and tested trifecta of synthesizers, bass and drums, Caixa Cubo have carved out their own idiosyncratic ideal of golden-era Brazilian jazz-funk and samba-jazz.

Encapsulating the vitality and experimentalism synonymous with Sao Paulo’s musical history, Caixa Cubo playfully straddle the elegant and the surreal, with masterful songwriting and the consummate musicianship of longtime friends and bandmates Henrique Gomide (claviers), Noa Stroeter (basse) et João Fideles (batterie).

​Caixa Cubo have been playing together for over 14 years - and that’s ‘playing’ in the truest sense of the word. As bassist Noa Stroeter explains: “A story, a joke, images, invented words, people we met on tour, places, fictitious or not, have always been part of our creative process. And they are precious materials beyond the musical work itself. This dynamic has stayed with us to this day, and for me it is the characteristic that guarantees that no matter what, we will have fun working.”
