The Sound of Trombone Brasileiro

“The Sound of Trombone Brasileiro” dives into the smooth, soulful, and rhythmic world of Brazilian trombone music across samba, choro, jazz, gafieira, and MPB. Spanning decades and a variety of regional flavors, this playlist brings together legends like Raul de Souza and Raul de Barros with modern voices such as Rafael Rocha, Bocato, and Natalie Cressman. It offers a rich mix of instrumental showcases and collaborative ensembles — from lyrical choros like “Pedacinhos do Céu” to bold samba-jazz fusions like “Ilha do Mel.”

Tracks like “Tromboneando” and “Canta Canta, Minha Gente” highlight both technical precision and groove, while pieces like “O Caminho do Bem” and “A Vontade Mesmo” keep the energy grounded in Brazil’s distinct swing. Whether it’s the nostalgia of “Manhã de Carnaval” or the punchy modern edge of “Pragmático Cognitivo,” the trombone remains front and center — expressive, melodic, and unmistakably Brazilian.
