Yoshi's compositions range from the simplest, yet most captivating melodies to the impossibly intricate and mysterious textures. Together with his extraordinary singing ability on the bass, his playing and music surprise, enchant, and delight audiences.

Marcos is the backbone and stabilizer in the trio and a huge source of creativity, colorfulness, and expansion. His immense range of dimensions on the drums makes them feel like a full orchestra with every conceivable percussion instrument.
