Trio Smiles!
Trio Smiles! Is
the name of the Latin Jazz, Brazilian trio formed in 2003 by Stelios Papazoglou
on guitar, Andreas Rodosthenous on electric bass and Rodos Panagiotou on drums.
It was in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) that Stelios, Andreas and Rodos met and
started playing together. Rodos and Andreas used to play together for many
years before since they are both from Limassol, Cyprus. Stelios is from Kavala,
Greece. All three of them studied jazz and Latin music in the Rotterdam's
Conservatory where they could play among other kinds of music, jazz, Brazilian,
salsa and Latin jazz. Trio Smiles!
Played in Rotterdam, among other places, in the “Doelen”, the “Dizzy Jazz
café”, the “Zuid Plein (south area) theater” and also in the Haag in the “Pater
latin bar” and in Amsterdam in different places. This summer 2007, they feature in their trio a very talented
singer. Magda Mendes is a Portuguese singer living in Holland
since 2002. She studied Jazz/ LatinJazz at the Rotterdam’s Conservatory where
she got in contact with musicians from Holland and abroad. Involved with
several World Music orientated projects, she found her own way to mix several
styles she loves, like Brazilian Jazz and Fado from her country. This singer “feels at home” working with this trio, once the
musical connection is as easy as it is very strong. The music they make
together travels beyond geographical barriers, and takes the people with them
into their musical common language.
