In Portuguese, rebolou, rebolar is a verb full of meaning: to move the hips, walk, or dance while swaying. But rebolar is also about improvisation, figuring things out in the face of a difficult situation. Trio Rebolô was formed in 2022 during the creation of the play Mémoires d'un monde au-delà de l'abîme written and directed by Bárbara Maia. Now, the trio is strengthened by the magical strings of Felipe Ariani.
