Ensemble Novo explores samba, bossa nova and contemporary styles through the lens of improvisation, creating a warm, spacious, perfect-for-chilling sound. The musicians balance crisp group execution with spirited solo explorations -- the focus is on the vibes and moods you'd hear on Rio's beaches or in some sleek hidden Sao Paulo cocktail lounge. In a review, The Vinyl District raved: "These two mini-albums put a playful spin on some of the world’s most welcoming music, Brazilian pop from the 1960s and 1970s. They are executed with a jazz touch and musical virtuosity by musicians who may not be household names, but deserve to be.”
