IGUAZù ACOUSTIC TRIO WAS FONDED BY OUR PASSION FOR SOUTH AMERICAN SOUNDS AND IN PARTICULAR FOR COUNTRIES WITH GREAT TRADITIONAL RHYTHMS SUCH AS BRAZIL, CUBA, ARGENTINA AND PUERTO RICO. THE GROUP STARTS TO TAKE SHAPE IN 2007 AFTER HAVING SPENT OVER A DECADE EXPERIMENTING ON THE MORE COMMERCIAL LATIN MUSIC, THE SO CALLED “SALSA”. A SOLID FRIENDSHIP EMERGED OUT OF THIS EXPERIENCE, CONSOLIDATED BY THE PLEASURE TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER AND BY THE MANY MILES TRAVELLED TRHOUGHOUT ITALY AND ABROAD. EVERY MEMBER OF THIS GROUP, HAS CONTRIBUTED IMMENSLY THEIR OWN MUSICAL EXPERIENCE AND PASSION IN ALL MUSIC GENERES SUCH AS JAZZ, POP, SOUL, FUNK IN ADDITION TO SONGWRITING… IN ADDITION TO OUR PASSION FOR LATIN MUSIC, IT IS OUR GREAT JOY TO HAVE WITH US AN EXTRAORDINARY PERCUSSIONIST AND AN INCREDIBLE MUSICIAN, OUR MUSIC LEGEND ALEX ACUNA. IN THE 8 TRACKS OF OUR CD TITLED “RUBIO”, HE GAVE US HIS ART AND SENSIBILITY UNIQUE MOMENTS AND EMOTIONS. THE TITLE TRACK “RUBIO” IS NOW THE MOST DOWNLOADED SONG OF ALEX ACUNA ON ITUNES.
