For those of you not yet familiar with the Dutch-New Zealand trio, they play roots driven hypnotic dance. It’s a sound informed by gospel and blues singing and playing fused with ancient folk melodies. Added to that is the rawness of seventies funk, african desert blues, moroccan gnawa, indian raga and a touch of EDM  all played on guitars and drums without using computers or samples. They have been spreading their psychedelic blues-trance rave to the approval of audiences worldwide since 2012, featuring on renowned festivals such as Glastonbury (UK), Isle of Wight (UK), Sziget (HU), Fusion (DE), Exit (RS), Lowlands (NL) and Pinkpop (NL).

MY BABY is more than just the band’s name. It’s a title that refers to an allegorical figure, a central character in the band’s musical story. She is in part a phantom muse, a result of the combined imagination of the band members. She’s often described as, ‘a girl in the '70's fantasizing about being a flapper girl and dancer in the '20’s.

The Caldwell is an American Rock band from Houston, Texas. The band formed in 2013 after frontman James Essary wrote the bands first album, Modern Love.

In the performance of Alessandro, the audience is bewitched by the strength and the intensity of his voice and delighted by the delicacy of some mellow melodies, which create a good balance between the sexiest roughness of latin rhythms and the coolest songwriter's pop. From the streets to the stages, everyone is kindly entertained and refreshed by this original, powerful and inspiring music, whose lyrics are written in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. The songwriting of Alessandro projects a personal view on the traditional sources of inspiration like Gipsy Manouche, French Musette, Pop ballads, African Rhythms, popular Cumbia, intellectual Samba...

* The Inexplicable Cry *

    When I watch a movie
    and I cry at night
    well, I cry of joy, I don't know why
    why do I cry of joy?
    A human portrait
    comes to my mind
    of an eskimo woman with her child
    a woman with her child
    Old movies for a moody night
    cyclical lapses of time
    lapses of time
    I can collapse in a while
    into an inexplicable cry

    Sweetness
    and there's nothing more to say
    I'm still delicate like a child
    I let it flow and cry
    let it flow!

    Woman!
    you have the power to create and recreate the world you live in
    the world you live in
    Woman!
    you have the power t ocreate and recreate the world you live in

    Stendhal's syndrome
    reminds me times of my previous life
    Counterintuitive rhythms of our heart
    reveal emotions
    which melt the ice of daily life
    the ice of daily life
    and in this cry I'm at ease and extasy
    ease and extasy
    I feel safe to collect back my whole life
    and my future dreams
    and my future

    Woman!
    you have the power to create and recreate the world you live in
    the world you live in
    Woman!
    you have the power to create and recreate the world you live in

    I'm in the sweetest need of love I've ever had
    I'm in the strangest need of love I've ever had, I've ever had
    I'm in the biggest need of love I've ever had
    I'm in the greatest need of love I've ever had, I've ever had

    Sing in your coco  Sing in your coco and you'll see we'll rock on
    Sing in your coco  Sing in your coco and you'll see we'll rock on
    Dança no Coco     Dança no Coco macaco malouco
    Dança no Coco     Dança no Coco macaco malouco
    Dança no Coco     Dança no Coco macaco malouco
    Dança no Coco     Dança no Coco macaco malouco
