CHOCOS :
Blasting intrepid kaleidoscopic melodies, constantly shifting between the sharp corners of post-modern jazz harmonies and indie like hooks: fearless liberty meets ear-catching soundscapes. Just kidding. CHOCOS is a trio that plays their heart out: they approach music from a place of love and discovery, seamlessly moving through different genres and combining the energy of Rock, the grooves of Indie, and the liberty of jazz. Their concerts are raw and exciting, driven by interaction, self-expression and a healthy-dose of Portuguese charm. They recorded their debut album in July 2023, while touring in Portugal, featuring illustrious guests of the Portuguese jazz scene: João Mortágua, Eduardo Cardinho and Iúri Oliveira.
