espelhos: new/nouveau CD + Swami Jr

<p> <strong>espelhos</strong>… is…</p> <p> a singer,</p> <p> another singer,</p> <p> an accordionist,</p> <p> a bassist,</p> <p> and a guitarist …</p> <p> … playing music together for several years.</p> <p>  </p> <p> In this new record we will travel among the group’s own compositions, <em>fado</em> and Portuguese popular music, jazz and Brazilian popular music. Throughout the journey, <strong>espelhos </strong>leads us from dreaming to dancing, from nostalgia to groove, from lightness to virtuosity.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> The project <strong>espelhos </strong>(<a href="http://www.espelhos.be" target="_blank">http://www.espelhos.be</a>), was born in Brussels during 2011, is given for ambition of singing and playing poetry in Portuguese language and by the support of many kiss bankers which allowed the making of the first CD, recorded during 2013: <strong>espelhos – canções portuguesas</strong>.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9HVBg0Ha7o" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9HVBg0Ha7o</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="5_preto_e_branco-1417369922" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/142579/5_preto_e_branco-1417369922.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> After some concerts in Belgium, the group made one tour to Portugal and two tours to Brazil.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://youtu.be/MLplGsgp9qA" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/MLplGsgp9qA</a> (SESC Sorocaba - BRAZIL - 12 october 2014)</p> <p>  </p> <p> The last one took place in the State of Sao Paulo, in 2014, and deserved the participation by great Brazilian musicians in the <strong>espelhos</strong> concerts, such as guitarist Swami Jr and saxophonist/clarinettist Nailor Proveta.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>And Now ?</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> These voyages, encounters, concerts and feasts converge towards the willingness of a <strong>group’s new album</strong>.</p> <p>  </p> <p> We would be very pleased to invite the great guitarist, composer and producer, <strong>Swami Jr. </strong>to participate in this project. Native from São Paulo he is being considered as one of the highly coveted musicians in Brazil and internationally. Swami Jr. collaborates regularly with Omara Portuondo, having produced several artists (Vanessa da Mata, Chico César, Richard Galliano, …). He also pursues a career as soloist.</p> <p> To be able to invite him to participate in our new project means an exceptional opportunity.  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5I-pFglPyA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5I-pFglPyA</a></p> <p> <a href="http://www.boranda.com.br/swamijr">http://www.boranda.com.br/swamijr</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> The first disc <strong>espelhos<em> – </em>canções portuguesas</strong>  was released at June 2013 thanks to the support of more than 150 persons through a crowd funding initiative.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Cristina Rosal and Ana Milena Rocha were the singers accompanied by the musicians Pierre Gillet (Guitar 7 strings and mandolin), Miguel Rosal (Bass and Double bass) and Thibault Dille (Accordion and <em>Accordina</em>).</p> <p>  </p> <p> Although native from different countries (Mozambique, Portugal, Germany, Belgium), the members of the group share the same big passion for singing and musical composition.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The group “espelhos” exists since 2011, under the initiative from D’ARTE (a non-profit institution under Belgian law) created in 2002 and very active programming concerts and cultural events about the Lusophone music, in Brussels or abroad.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Darte-1417266715" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/142295/darte-1417266715.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> The funds collected through this “crowdfunding” initiative will finance the production costs of the CD, from the studio recording until the final product.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The music recording is scheduled to May 2015, with its presentation to September in Belgium and October the same year in Brazil.
