T(h)REE is a cultural project that joins musicians from Portugal and several Asian countries, in unique musical partnerships.
Meeting new cultures and the encouraging the local music production, taking it away from its borders, reaching new markets, forming new contacts and starting new musical relationships that otherwise would never take place, were the ideas that the portuguese traveler producer David Valentim had in mind when he decided to start project T(H)REE, back in 2008.
Since then, more than 150 different music projects, with a lot of different styles, backgrounds and cultures, were invited to play together in collaborations that were spread in three different albums, (Vol.1 - Portugal, Hong Kong and Macau -2010; Vol.2 - Portugal, Philippines and Singapore - 2012; Vol.3 - Portugal, Japan and South Korea - 2014), and many concerts in both sides of the world.
The first trilogy of albums solidified the project and got enough media praise to make it grow and embrace new music from other geographies.

T(H)REE - A MUSICAL JOURNEY FROM PORTUGAL TO ASIA, is the upcoming 3 discs limited edition that includes three brand new volumes - Vol. 4 - Portugal, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates, Vol. 5 - Portugal, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, Vol. 6 - Portugal, India and Sri Lanka.
The first single of this new release is taken from Vol.6 and is called Nura Pakhang (Eu e Tu) and it is the result of the collaboration between the pop rock iconic band Cla, and the Manipur folk singer Mangka.
A song about the Manipur polo culture, and realising how deeply connected two sides can be. The unique mix of Manipur folk music and the jazzy pop rock of Cla is an irresistible gem that takes the traditional local music of Manipur to a whole new planet of sounds.
Scheduled to be released on April 28th 2017, and with the support of Fundacao Oriente and the portuguese radio station Antena 3, T(H)REE - A MUSICAL JOURNEY FROM PORTUGAL TO ASIA will be release in CD by the portuguese label Omnichord Records, and it will be available to be bought digitally in bandcamp.
The sales of the album will be donated to Make a Wish Foundation.
