In Mittelpunkt der New Yorker Gruppe TRIO MUNDO steht der in Puerto Rico geborene Meister–Schlagzeuger und Sänger Manolo Badrena. TRIO MUNDO RIDES AGAIN stellt Manolo’s einzigartige künstlerische Persönlichkreit in 11 neuen Songs vor, in einem farbenreichen Mix von brasilianischen, afro-kubanischen, Jamaica-, und Afrika-Rhythmen. Manolo wurde weltberühmt durch seine Mitgliedschaft in der Fusion-Jazz Gruppe Weather Report, mit dem er ihr Bestseller Album “Heavy Weather” aufnahm. Manolo’s einmaliger Sound hat zu über 100 CDs beigetragen. Er hat auch mit Spyro Gyra, Ahmad Jahmal, Steve Kahn’s Eyewitness und dem Joe Zawinul Syndicate zusammengearbeitet.

ALL ABOUT JAZZ
What makes Trio Mundo special is that, while Latin rhythms and constructs are the foundation on which they operate, the group has a far broader reach, even going as far afield as Africa and India. Their sheer enthusiasm is not only evident, it's overriding. There is an honesty, a total lack of affectation and complete commitment that makes this a difficult disk to take out of the player. Badrena emerged in the mid-'70s, and quickly became percussionist of choice for Joni Mitchell and Weather Report (his association with Weather Report founder Joe Zawinul continues to this day in Zawinul's Syndicate). But it is with Trio Mundo that he is arguably given the most freedom, and that musical liberty pays big dividends on Trio Mundo Rides Again. Working regularly in the New York area as well as in Europe, Trio Mundo proves that tradition does not have to be synonymous with stagnation. Trio Mundo's respectful irreverence for the Latin tradition makes them a group that is absolutely vital to the furtherance of contemporary jazz.
