Hi, guys! Welcome to Hi-Brazil! We'd like to invite you for a new experience in this magnificent Universe music is. Can you imagine Carmen Miranda abducted by aliens that are living hidden betweens natives into the heart of Amazonian Forest? Well, it's your chance to travel to
Beyooooooonnnnnnd!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We live in a tropical island, called Sao Vicente, wich is the first city from Brazil (1534). Of course we like bananas, but we like many other stuff, too, like music and art. Mauricio is a singer, composer, poet, journalist, writer and musician with a very diverse background. He plays many instruments, like andean ones (bombo leguero, charango, zampoïa, kena), developed a new style of lyrical vocals and did hundreds of shows at 90's, since great brazilian theaters till little pubs. He is the almost-all-in-ears from HI-BRAZIL. Andre is a visual artist, writer and musician, with his focus on ancient tradition scenarios and subconscious creation. He is the almost-all-in-eyes from HI- BRAZIL. Both like good cooking, poetry and "heart-beat based" music. And both are open to exchange musical realistic experimentations with other people around the world In these times of uncertainty, we decide to create a new technotropical universe, with short but powerful lyrics, and clanging, new, exotic instrumentals. We are releasing a new album, next December, called Let's do the Samba!, a critical point of view of the political, cultural and economical impositions made by the "greatest" countries against the "penurious" countries of what they call third world. We did it without any trace of money in it, besides computers and equipments. Exactly "brazilian style" of life: underestimated, poor and, besides all this, doing the samba!
