I've been listening to Gabriel Moura for the past few weeks. I was introduced to him through the song "E bom andar a pe", one of those songs so pleasant to listen that follows you all day playing quietly in your mind.I went on investigating who the artist is, and found out lots of interesting things:Gabriel has just released his first album -- Brasis, which, unfortunately, is not available in the US, not even throgh ITunes, what's up with that??
Gabriel was a member of the group 'Farofa Carioca' along with Seu Jorge and others. Farofa created the sound track of a documentary about the origns and history of the Brazilian Music, directed by Mika Kaurismäki, and entitled 'Moro no Brasi' (I live in Brazil).
Here is a small clip about Gabriel, in Portuguese, but a chance to learn a little bit about the artist.
I've been living in the US for the past 18 years. I've always enjoyed Brazilian music, but maybe the distance from my homeland made it turn into a passion. I created this space to share with you what is happening in the MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) scene in Brazil currently. Hope you enjoy. And by the way, I love to hear your comments...
