TRA! 

is: Emilio Maggiore - Guitar Giuseppe Bordasco - Electric Bass Amir Segev - Drums --------- Smashed Wood is: Lucie Luna Hallenga - Violin Mireia Costa Viladrich - Violin Daniela Rivera Guzman - Viola Patrycja Skowrońska - Cello --------- TRA! Is a fresh trio with a unique and pleasant sound which travels between jazz, brazilian, funk, latin, indian, middle eastern and african music, while keeping a fun interplay and improvisation spirit between the musicians. The band’s repertoire is mainly formed by originals written by Maggiore and arranged together with the other members, with the exception of some covers of jazz standards, movie soundtracks, pop songs and even tunes from animated series. The band has recently recorded its debut album and is working towards recording the next album along with the string quartet Smashed Wood.

Smashed Wood is a string quartet of 4 women from all over the world brought together by their curiosity for crossover music. They have the wish to explore as many different styles as they can in order to take the best pieces and smash them together. With TRA!, they intertwine their classical instruments with world infused jazz, creating a whole new realm of warm sounds with groovy tunes.
