Pianist Leo Genovese and bassist Demian Cabaud hail from Argentina
and attended the Berklee College of Music together. Genovese
has made a busy life as an itinerant musician based in New York
City, while Cabaud settled in Porto, Portugal, where they duo met
Portuguese drummer Marcos Cavaleiro. The three developed a deep
friendship and a musical bond that delivers unlimited inspiration
whenever the trio meets.
In 2023, the trio released an album of original compositions,
Estrellero. The album had been recorded a couple years prior and
the release inspired the group to reconvene to capture the magic yet
again. Collectively, the friends could bring together their feelings
and attitudes about the world, whether it be missing their native
homes or wishing for a better tomorrow.
The musicians realize how lucky they are to be able to come
together and pursue music making in an environment where
they are all welcome, appreciated, and needed. The freedom to express
their feelings allow them to bring their full selves to the music. The
magic that they created was captured on June 6, 2023, at the Estudio
Cara OJM in Porto.
