trindade is from Curitiba, Brazil and lives in London. In the 90s he released a collection of cassettes with songs written from 1980 onwards. In 2001 released a cd with some of the best songs from those cassettes. He is one half of the band "maconha" (myspace.com/maconhalondon) "Trindade plays interesting variations on Latin themes, which get more boldly imaginative the further into the CD you get. By Track 9, he's off in hot pursuit of some serious improv jazz action." "The bass playing was rather punky and ham-fisted in a deliberate way and I really liked that about it." " "Its got a kind of rough-hewn quality which I find really attractive." Robert Sandal & Mark Russell mixing it BBC Radio 3
