Chinese Cookie Poets is a Brazilian trio from Rio de Janeiro that started in 2010 with Marcos Campello (electric guitar), Felipe Zenícola (electric bass) and Renato Godoy (drums). A surly rock, physical and ludic; A rocker free jazz, with a stop-and-go esthetic and breathtaking dynamics in short compositions. A live concert from Chinese Cookie Poets is always a blend of brutal intensity and meticulous interventions with strictly arranged compositions but with blank spots for improvised sections without sounding as two diverse areas.

In 2013 they released Danza Cava, a collaboration with Brazilian trumpet player Nicolau Lafetá. In 2014 Chinese Cookie Poets released their fifth album called ■ and toured around Europe doing 8 concerts in 6 countries.
