Info for Brasileiro Soul

Reinaldo Brahn gehört zur Garde junger brasilianischer Singer / Songwriter, die Einflüsse aus Jazz, Bossa Nova und südamerikanischem Pop zu einer ganz eigenen Melange verbinden. Der Gitarrist spielt ganz eindeutig südamerikanische Rhythmen und man hört ihm die Erfahrung aus jahrelangen Live-Auftritten an. Unterstützt wird er für diese Studio-Aufnahme von einer Truppe von Profi-Musikern mit einem geradezu gespenstischen Gefühl für Timing. Vielleicht liegt das an der Präsenz von Altmeister Jim Brock an den Percussion-Instrumenten.

Die Aufnahme entstand im Februar 2011 in den Reflection Sound Studios in Charlotte und Jim Brock war tatsächlich als Produzent beteiligt, während Reference Recordings sich um die Aufnahmetechnik in 24 Bit kümmerte.

Wer auf seiner High-End-Anlage also nicht immer nur zarte Damenstimmen hören möchte, sondern gern auch einmal einen feurigen Südamerikaner mit Rhythmus im Blut, der ist hier genau richtig. Dynamik, Luftigkeit und einschmeichelnde Töne ergeben eine Kombination für Genießer und eine Trompete klingt tatsächlich nach Metall.

Reinaldo Brahn
Born in Belo Horizonte (Beautiful Horizon), the third largest city in Brazil. Reinaldo Brahn picked up his brother's guitar at age 14, curiously strummed its chords, and the musician within him immediately emerged. He taught himself traditional Musica Minhera, the rhythms of his native state Minas Gerais. Gaining experience playing and singing at festivals, bars and restaurants, he worked with the renowned Brazilian vocal group Soul Makube before embarking on a solo career. Reinaldo's experiences and collaboration with other musicians created his signature style which infuses classic Brazilian rhythms-Samba and Bossa Nova - with Funk and Jazz. In 2000 he recorded a CD with WEB BRASIL, in 2004 a collaborative CD entitled "Ao Vivo no Tocos", and in 2009 his first solo CD - "A Procura da Razao acoustic".

Reinaldo toured his original music throughout Brazil, and then brought his artistry to the United States. Arriving in Charlotte, North Carolina, in October 2007, he quickly introduced his Brazilian roots to the local scene. He creatively applies robust Brazilian style to popular American music with a truly inspiring result. Reinaldo's specialties include singing and playing authentic Brazilian music, including Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB) and classic Sambas, as well as performing American pop songs with a strong Brazilian influence. Veteran percussionist and producer Jim Brock refers to Reinaldo Brahn as "the new voice of Brazil".
