Since the beginning of his career as a jazzman, Vincent Penasse always enjoyed playing in different salsa and brazilian groups such as: Chama, Brasil tropical,samba lanço and many more.
“Montuno” is the first band he created in 1985 together with Daniel Moffat and Frankie Rose.
After that, Vincent Penasse decided to travel to Brazil where he lived there from 1999 to 2010 in Salvador de Bahia.
During his period in Brazil he had the opportunity to play in different Brazilian bands such as forro, bossa nova, samba and jazz bands. He played with multiple artists including: Lima Alves, Mou Brasil, Tati Lima, Arrocha o no, Roberval Santos and Horracio Barros Reis.
In the city of Salvador, he met Ricardo Sibalde, which is a musical arranger for Carlinhos Brown.
Together, Ricardo Sibalde and Vincent Penasse worked hard on the creation of a saxophone quartet which has as a repertory music from the Nord-East of Brazil.
The style of the Araucaria band is a very particular style in which they mix popular music from Brazil such as samba and specifics rhythms from Bahia, while creating a jazz feeling and making room for improvisation.
The repertory is made out of Brazilian composers and some tunes written by Vincent Penasse.
