A contemporary blend of modern Jazz, fused with heavy Rock, Latin & Pop influences performing original music by Multi-Award winning British acclaimed saxophonist: Russ Van Den Berg. Jazz & Rock is a democratic ideology expressed by the people who are denied it. At this time in the world, music is more necessary and needed than it ever was. In the political and financial industries, who are failing
countries, migration occurs because people lose a sense of home. You have to go back to your culture and cultural identity, reaffirming that which is most sacred and special about being 'you'. Its no different to when you're sick, to replenish yourself, you have to go home – music to a migrant, is their home, their self, their protest.”
A motto carried forward to liberally pursue a voice, against an adversity from mainstream and unfortunately having felt a xenophobic response from the Valencian music scene. In response, van den Berg brings together an English, Spanish, Venezuelan, Brazilian, Irish fusion of the highest calibre musicians, blended by epic, powerful and original music. From their first performance, Trip-Bop exploded on the scene with instant attention from the media, to the release of a live album and supported promotion. As all good art challenges its' genre, in overview, this is one group that's hard to define. Yet to experience it live, leaves you not just stunned but gripped, to the impassioned delivery on every corner that the music takes you along its' journey. LiveXmusic is boldly announcing – THIS IS UNIQUE - deserving of every chance to be heard across the board of Rock, Jazz and Festival circuits who support a progressive outlook.
