Meta_ is Mariana Bragada, a singer, composer, and producer from the region of Trás-os-Montes in Northern Portugal. Her debut album, XIV - A Integração, is intimate and organic, with deeply emotive vocals and acoustic instrumentation, yet at the same time heavily features electronic production with deep bass and atmospheric soundscapes. She brings together elements of organic downtempo and trip-hop with ancestral wisdom and yearning vocals that express her hardships and fantasies while reflecting her Portuguese roots. 

XIV- A Integração is the sonic journey of Meta_, born in Trás-os-Montes Portugal, from her roots to South America. 
In 2019 she traveled to Pucallpa, Peru, where she had the opportunity and honor to connect with the Ayahuasca medicine plant and be in the presence of a family of Maestros and Maestras from the Shipibo tribe. Coincidentally, in the following 2 weeks, she performed Live Sound Design for Theatre shows of UmColetivo in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and Montevideo, Uruguay. 
This album is Meta_'s ode to Mother Earth and the human experience, highlighting the symbiosis of organic sound with electronics, tied together with her unique voice. 
Emotions, visions and lyrics are expressed in 3 languages ​​- Portuguese, Spanish and English. It is in this complementarity that a unique sonic universe is created, born of Portuguese ancestry united with the internal and external journeys of Meta_ across the world. 
The songs were written, composed and sung by Meta_ with 2 international collaborations - Labaq (Brazil) and Bom Beijo (Sweden) and percussionist Manu Idhra (PT). Meta_ produced the album, with Bom Beijo jointly producing 7 songs. 
This is the space for integrating Meta_'s life lessons. Beyond duality, this album is based on the colorful, intimate and empowering spectrum of revealing yourself to the world, just as you are, with fears, dreams, pain and love. It’s about death, about life, about being here. 
It was in South America that Meta_ was born again and, so far from the land where she lives, she felt at home. It is with this journey and its alchemy manifested in the album, that the common and cross-border value that music has of union, ancestry and healing is visibly awakened. 
“I use the roots as wings, I will be a flying tree.”

Co-produced by Grammy nominee Ivis Flies and Grammy winner Ivan Benavides, Rio Mira is a marimba supergroup with Afro-Pacific binational heritage consisting of some of the most in-demand and respected musicians from Colombia and Ecuador. Their music is the sonic rejoining of the region known as El Pacífico Sur, one connected by history, ecology and culture and divided by the national borders of Ecuador and Colombia.   

The people throughout this area have similar music, food, speech, fashion, and background, and it is no coincidence that the band takes its name from the Mira River that flows across these borders, connecting rather than dividing people and cultures. This area is home to a great many people of African descent and the rhythms of Africa have become entwined with the lilt and grooves of Colombia and Ecuador. Marimba music has become firmly established, a sound so sacred it was added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2015.  

Marimba Del Pacifico is a beguiling showcase of this protected sound, a celebration of a unique cultural heritage found nowhere else on the planet, by a band of young musicians keeping this strong tradition alive.

GRACIAS A LA VIDA = THANK YOU TO LIFE

This goes out to eveeeerybody
Give thanks to life 

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me dio dos luceros que cuando los abro
perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado el oido que en todo su ancho
graba noche y dia grillos y canarios
martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos
y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado el sonido y el abedecedario
con él las palabras que pienso y declaro
madre amigo hermano y luz alumbrando,
la ruta del alma del que estoy amando.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
playas y desiertos montañas y llanos
y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.

Me dio el corazón que agita su marco
cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
cuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo,
cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros.
cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
cuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo,
cuando miro ha todo mis amigos...
cuando miro, cuando miro

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto,
así yo distingo dicha de quebranto
los dos materiales que forman mi canto
y el canto de la gente que es el mismo canto

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto

Gracias a la vida

N.O.H.A. is characterized by energy loaded grooves and its open genre mixture of
drum&bass and world music in a sound we like to call “Ethno-Bass”.

With several studio albums under their belt and years of touring, hits like Balkan Hot Step,
Dinero, and Tu Café have brought the band to some of the biggest European festival stages.

When on stage, N.O.H.A. stands out as a living, breathing tornado. 
The band radiates highly infectious positive energy flowing from the stage to the crowd, to
which any audience at any number of festivals this year alone can attest.


 
N.O.H.A.  released a new music video “ DINERO” for the single from the last album, :  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwy1k3HzEkY&sns=fb

 
N.O.H.A.  most famous hit:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi20Si3jRIo    ( 6 800 000 views)

N.O.H.A. s latest video release is a flashback of some of the amazing shows in 2014

-Word campaign  NIKE shox music by N.O.H.A. : http://youtu.be/1TxivBXgwmQ


- N.O.H.A. are: 

- MC Chevy (New York, USA), Project’s co-founder; band's “soul”, lyricist, integral part of N.O.H.A. imparting his charisma, voice, living power and energy to the project 

Kaia Brown ( Washington, D.C., USA ), Singer, writer, traveler; band's “voice”; globetrotter inspired by cultures 
from all over the world. She’s worked with NY dub legend, Dr Israel, Kush Arora, Dub Gabriel, 
Chad Jones of Process Rebel, and Heavyweight Dub Champion.
Kaia connected immediately with the energy and vitality of N.O.H.A. and looks forward to
bringing her dynamic, sultry, rock-infused soul style into the Noise Of Human Art mix.

- Philip Noha (Prague, CZ), founder of the project, band´s “head”; composer, producer and saxophone player setting its direction throughout the entire existence of N.O.H.A. 
It was his composition and production of songs like Balkan Hot Step,, Dinero, and Tu Café which moved N.O.H.A. to its current level.

- Thom Herian (Prague, CZ), sensational Czech drummer and band's beating “heart”.
Only a few drum-kit players in the world play live drum-and-bass like Thom does. His performance is a unique experience not limited only to musical prowess.

- Jatrabass (CZ), band’s “liver”, bass guitar and wobble bass. Like its equivalent in the
human body, Jatrabass also filters the elements needed for the band’s musical blood and its bloodstream. 
Precision and excellent coordination with the drum-kit create the band’s  extraordinary groove section.

- Guido Lahrmann (DE), band´s „ear“,behind the mix desk, creating the best sound with
exiting live effects and unique powerful live sound.
