Luis Trio has settled in Delhi since mid-2016. In the beginning it was about Jazz and latin music, but it slowly evolved into something more actual and groovy. Still connected to the roots, Luis Trio continues to play Jazz standard, but transforms the atmosphere of the song into something more personal. Improvisation and interaction is the main subject of this exchange between the three. They call that Hip Hop Jazz.
