Kilombo, the latest album by Trio Infernal, is a fiery and dynamic work that showcases the band's virtuosity and creativity. The trio, composed of guitarist Toninho Horta, drummer Edu Ribeiro, and bassist Guto Wirtti, blends Brazilian rhythms, jazz harmonies, and rock energy into a thrilling mix that never fails to captivate the listener.
From the opening track "Kilombo" to the closing "Ciranda," the album takes the listener on a journey through different moods and textures, from the haunting ballad "Pra Dizer Adeus" to the funky "Funk da Barra" and the explosive "Choro Blues." Each track is a showcase for the trio's individual talents, as well as their tight interplay and improvisational skills.
Horta's guitar playing is a highlight of the album, as he effortlessly shifts from delicate fingerpicking to searing solos, while Ribeiro's drumming and percussion add a propulsive energy to the music. Wirtti's bass lines are melodic and inventive, providing a solid foundation for the trio's explorations.
