Trio Tipo: The Music
The sound of Trio Tipo is much easier to experience than to describe. Everyone seems to come away with a different impression. Listeners of all ages and musical tastes have enjoyed the original sounds of the trio.

The music makes people feel good and is a blend of acoustic rock, jazz, latin, world, spanish, classical, and fusion but it doesn't exactly fit into any of those categories. It's a genre all to itself which the band calls Acoustic Fusion.

The combined talents of these three experienced musicians continue to evolve as they work on their next CD, Costa del Sol, which is due to be released early in 2006.
