It's probably safe to say that you've never heard anything like BROTHERS OF BRAZIL before. For the past three years the brotherly duo of Supla and Joäo have been combining elements of traditional Brazilian music such as Bossa nova and samba with rock and funk to create a unique sound that's won over countless fans in Brazil - and now they're ready to expand worldwide with the release of their self-titled album. The duo was started when the brothers landed their own national variety show in Brazil called "Brothers" on Rede TV. It was then Supla and Joäo realized that when they collaborated the results were beyond what they had ever imagined. After the TV show ran its course the duo decided to pursue their newly found realization and start BROTHERS OF BRAZIL. Their debut album was produced by Mario Caldato, Jr. (Beastie Boys, Tone Loc). From the instantly catchy samba sound of "Samba Around The Clock" to the rockabilly vibe of "Paparazzi" BROTHERS OF BRAZIL is an album that takes the band's diverse group of influences and juxtaposes them into a brand of music that has as much emphasis on storytelling as it does songwriting. "We're both into rock and Brazilian music so Brothers Of Brazil is very about that mix," explains Joäo. "The most important thing to us is to have a good song because if a song sucks it doesn't matter how many styles you're mixing together," Supla adds. While the band tackle every style from funk to rockabilly, Joäo's traditional picking style and Supla's distinctive drumming ties these songs together. BROTHERS OF BRAZIL is a unique listening experience that will remind you that great songwriting is truly universal.
