“Trio Madeira Brasil is an exceptional group from Rio de Janeiro, formed by three virtuosos with great musical sensitivity. Here, Ronaldo do Bandolim, Zé Paulo Becker (6 string guitar) and Marcello Gonçalves (7 string guitar), produce, through a Brazilian view, beautiful arrangements of a rich and varied repertoire.”
