Casino Royal

Casino Royal was born in Portugal by the hands of the producer Pedro Janela. After some research he discovers the magnificent voice of Marisa Mena and the project became known as Casino Royal. It’s strongly influenced by the "easy- listening” sound, getting inspiration from the Dolce Vita, the glamorous casino's life, where men and women are surrounded by luxury and money and involve themselves in sensual games. Casino Royal appears like the perfect soundtrack to that scenario. Visually the band shows a vintage look, with a colorful, smooth and sensual image.
