Premiere of the "Dia de Encontro" Project with Diamba and "Ponto" fills the Concha Acústica in Salvador!

The band Diamba, from Salvador and which was recently in Rio de Janeiro and Minas, launched the project "Dia de Encontro" in the capital of Bahia on August 16th. The band invited for this special debut was none other than Ponto de Equilíbrio, who has created great repercussions in their performances in Brazil and was recently in Europe. The venue chosen for the show was Concha Acústica do Teatro Castro Alves, one of the best-structured houses in the city. The "kick-off" of the Reggae night was given by Mano Brother, a Bahian pop-reggae band created two years ago and influenced by different rhythms of Brazilian music, such as Cidade Negra, Alceu Valença and Davi Moraes. The public once again showed up in droves and filled the space, showing all the strength that Reggae has in Bahia.

DIAMBA

Soon after, Diamba, formed by Duda (vocals), Renato Nunes (bass), Caio Frenn (drums), Paulo Marola (guitars), Joab Nunes (percussion) and Tilson Santana (keyboards) took the stage to play their hits. The show's repertoire was based on the group's first live DVD/CD - "10 Anos ao Vivo". The band Diamba showed once again that it continues to be one of the most popular on the Bahian scene, making the public sing almost all of its songs.

BALANCE POINT

Closing the night, the Rio band Ponto de Equilíbrio had the first opportunity to do a show for their targeted audience. Despite having performed a few times in Salvador, the group was always sharing the stage with different attractions, meaning that the show time was reduced and the audience was heterogeneous. The opportunity was very well taken advantage of by the group, which was born in Vila Isabel/RJ. Impressively, it was almost impossible to hear Hélio Bentes's voice (vocals) during the show, but not because the Concha Acústica sound system was bad (quite the opposite), but because the Bahians sang all of the band's hits with fervor and left satisfied. Due to time restrictions, the band still left Salvador wanting to perform an encore, which did not happen as the performances at Concha end at 10pm. Congratulations to Diamba and his team for the very well done production of "Dia de Encontro" and we hope they bring other great national or even international attractions to brighten the project even more!
