Rubim De Toldeo’s new album features his superior music capabilities which are aided and abetted by his unique style, Brazilian heritage, and world influences
Edmonton, Canada – February 2nd, 2021 – Having been in the music industry for nearly 15 years, Rubim de Toledo took the world by storm with the release of his new album in October, 2020. With Bob Tildesley on the trumpet, Rubim de Toledo composed and produced the eclectic album. He also took care of the bass, guitar, and percussion during the production, making the album his brainchild.
An ode to his Brazilian roots and affinity for world influences, the new album is a unique instrumental blend of jazz which leaves listeners feeling uplifted, inspired, and deeply intrigued by the sheer richness of the music. Like the rest of his work, the creation of this album was motivated by the artist’s strong belief in staying true to his sounds by paying no heed to trends.
Like before, Rubim de Toledo continues to forge his own unique path and marches to the beat of his own Brazilian music. His inane trust in the process and true appreciation of the art that comes out of it helps him stay positive and optimistic.
Rubim de Toldeo intends to continue making new music along with music videos. His immediate plans include building on his reputation through interviews, CD reviews, press features, and Spotify playlists.
