Sounds auf Brasil

The name of the band is an allusion to a piece by the Brazilian bossa nova composer and pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim and at the same time the programme of the band’s music. The lyrics of the song in question are an enumeration of everything that belongs to a fulfilled human life, and so the musicians have selected for their repertoire from the almost endless wealth of Brazilian sounds what they found suitable, extraordinary or otherwise remarkable. Samba, Bossa Nova, Choros, Musica Popular Brasileira - stylistically, there are no limits except their own.
