Info for Black Butterfly

This album represents of the diverse musicality of Mario Rafael Junior Prima award winner piano artist. While his previous album with his trio leads his audience into the world of mainstream jazz, the sound of RAFAEL comes together as a mix of contemporary pop music flavoured with improvisation. Another important element is the use of electronic sounds which brings new colour and makes an exciting layer in their music. In the creative process the band puts an emphasis on experimenting and innovative thinking.
