This second studio album 'FORTE' (meaning strength in Portuguese) is exactly that for the Melbourne based 6 piece ensemble Tatu Rei. The strength of this pivotal album lies in the musical concoction of some of Australia's most respected jazz and world music artists who feature on the recording. Add to this a string quartet of players from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Victorian Chamber Orchestra who feature on the title track of the album and you have an original world music recording to rival the best Australia has to offer.
