Not surprising that Ralph's been featuring Rony Trio on his Radio KC Indie Show of late, as their eclectic, poppy, folk-based blend of upbeat musical goodness always draws great feedback. Formed around London based Rony Berrebi, ably supported by Oliver Mitchell on Bass and drummer Jim McRae they've acquired an ever-growing band of faithful followers in the London area (and beyond) due to their relentless gigging.The Rony Trio sound is heavily influenced by Rony's multicultural background, with a Brazilian Mother, Tunisian father his childhood was spent listening to bossa nova, oriental music, blues, jazz, rock and French songwriters.
The Rony Trio five track debut EP released last year is a gloriously infectious blend of styles, with shades of G.Love & Special Sauce to the likes of Animal Liberation Orchestra, all mixed up with their own distinctive musical style. From the painfully reflective Strong (proceeds from the sale of which go to help provide a new helipad for King's College Hospital) to the irresistibly upbeat and funky Mystery they've got you hooked.
