Mosaico already
The band Mosaico, on tour through the South of the country, is already reaping rewards. It is already hailed as "the band of the moment from São Paulo" and promises much more for our brothers in Rio Grande do Sul. Check out the article from the GOSURF website:
THE ARTICLE
Mosaico, the Band of the Moment from São Paulo. MOSAICO, a São Paulo band that has been playing for 6 years on the city's most popular nightlife circuit, has its work as a "Cover Band" already recognized by a large audience, with an extensive show schedule averaging 15 monthly gigs, featuring an eclectic sound where covers of various Reggae Hits mix with their "Original Sound" — a fusion of Reggae with University Forró and Romantic Ballads. In an extensive repertoire, styles such as Love Reggae and foreggae predominate, examples: Bob Marley, Gilberto Gil, Peter Tosh, Natirut´s, Maskavo, Planta e Raiz, Rappa, Cidade Negra, Tribo de Jah, Skank, Dawn Penn, Lauryn Hill, as well as Charlie Brown, Paralamas, Circuladô de Fulô, Falamansa, Rastapé, Bicho de Pé, Guente, etc...) With a performative show, MOSAICO exchanges a lot of energy and positive vibrations with its audience, where everyone dances and sings a lot, interacting heavily with the band. "Canjas" with musician friends are common at MOSAICO shows — when they are not playing, they come to support them, such as the reggae bands from Brasília: Maskavo, Natirut´s, Alma D´jem, and the São Paulo reggae bands Semente Nativa and To Fly. The first CD with 11 unreleased tracks recorded independently at VIBE and Z 7 studios and released by DeckDisc features the participation of several musicians who make up the Brazilian POP REGGAE scene, such as: Robson Barros (ex-bassist Alma D´jem), Marceleza (vocal MASKAVO) singing a future hit "Olhar Cintilante"; a song made in partnership with the band MASKAVO, plus Raphael Mira (percussionist Alma D´jem) on the tracks "Descendo a Serra" and "Namoro de Rede", Prata (Guitarist MASKAVO) on the track "Brisa do Mar" as well as Rodrigo "Balão" in General Voice Coordination and backing vocals. We had the great pleasure of having the professional contribution of Quim (drummer, programmer and keyboardist of MASKAVO) in the Production of our CD. With an average of 3000 people attending MOSAICO shows on weekends, the band already has a Fan Club, Mailing List with more than 10,000 registered emails used to promote big shows, Promotional T-shirts, Stickers and official website www.bandamosaico.com.br. Recently, the highlight in MOSAICO's career was the invitation from Rede Globo de Televisão for a performance that took place during the January 2004 celebrations for the 450 years of the City of São Paulo. A mega project involving the São Paulo City Hall, CUT and Rede Globo bringing together great names in Brazilian music. Together with the bands Tribo de Jah and Alma Djem on January 17, 2004, MOSAICO gave a super performance for 40,000 people and this was undoubtedly the recognition of a work that is increasingly establishing itself in the city of São Paulo. Also recently MOSAICO was chosen as the host band of São Paulo to open the tour of the famous gaucho pop reggae band called CHIMARRUTS — 4 shows in February 2004 and 3 more shows in May 2004, including a special participation in the Tribute to Bob Marley on radio 89FM that brought together the biggest names in national reggae in an event for more than 4 thousand people.Category
