Brazil’s most popular a capella singing group (boasting 14 Gold Albums), Trio Esperança was founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1958 by the preteen siblings Mário, Regina and Eva Correa. Today the group covers an ever widening stylistic territory, singing in English, Spanish and French, in addition to their native Portuguese, adding music from throughout the Americas and Europe to a songbook that is truly international in character and outreach.  
 
Long popular on their native continent and in Europe, Trio Esperança now brings its beautiful music to the United States with its first release to be widely distributed in this country.  De Bach à Jobim, is an expansive musical expedition that includes uniquely personal interpretations of titles ranging from the classical, popular and jazz canons. Joining Trio Esperança on selected tracks are auspicious guests including guitarist/vocalist Marcio Faraco, percussionists Silvano Michelino and Inor Sotolongo, accordionist Marc Berthoumieux, pianist/producer Gérard Gambus and the strings of the Budapest Symphonic Orchestra, to make this one of the best recordings by the group in the more than half a century since its inception.

 With hundreds of thousands of albums sold internationally over a career spanning five decades, Trio Esperança has proven to be one of the most versatile singing groups in music history, equally skilled at interpreting jazz, classical and pop music. Long popular in South America and Europe, the group has recently developed a cult following in the American rock world after being covered recently by Indie Pop band Belle and Sebastian. Now with De Bach à Jobim they are poised to bring their inventive sounds to a wider audience in the United States for the enjoyment of this country’s many eclectic music lovers.
