Criolo; MC, singer, songwriter, released his album “Nó na Orelha” (Knot in the Ear) in May 2011. Produced by Daniel Ganjaman, known for his work with artists such as Nação Zumbi and the late Sabotage, and Marcelo Cabral, a pre-eminent musician of the new generation in Brazil, all tracks were composed and written by Criolo.

“Nó na Orelha” was initially available in Brazil as a free download and only commercially released on CD and vinyl in June 2012, when it also gained its first international exposure via the London-based label, Sterns Music.

Since the release of the album it has received over a dozen awards, both inside and outside of Brazil and Criolo has performed at over 200 shows within Brazil alone. In 2012 he toured internationally and visited 11 countries where his concerts were attended by crowds of all ages. These included the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and the Summer Stage Festival in New York’s Central Park.

The success of “Nó na Orelha” has led Criolo to share the stage with Caetano Veloso, Seu Jorge and the fado singer Ana Moura. In London he collaborated with the Ethio-Jazz icon Mulatu Astatke. Homage has been paid by Chico Buarque, and Criolo was interviewed by Spike Lee for the documentary “Go, Brazil, Go”. During one of the performances of “Nó na Orelha” in Rio de Janeiro, Ney Matogrosso took the stage to duet on the song “Freguês da Meia-Noite”, written by Criolo and to be recorded by Ney for his next album.

In 2013, his whole show “Nó na Orelha – Live at Circo Voador” was filmed in Rio de Janeiro and released as a ‘pay-as-you-like’ download. The DVD and CD “Criolo and Emicida – Live”, directed by Andrucha Waddington, Paula Lavigne and Ricardo Della Rosa, was also released in 2013.

In October 2013, the single “Duas de Cinco” was released digitally and on 12 inch vinyl in Brazil. It contains two new tracks, again produced by Daniel Ganjaman and Marcelo Cabral. A video featuring the lyrics of the first track “Duas de Cinco” has been produced by the project’s art director, Ricardo Fernandes, and is available on YouTube.

It’s classic rap over a sampled beat, with dense verses that feature a bold critique of contemporary Brazil. The chorus, taken from the song “Califórnia Azul” by Rodrigo Campos, a Brazilian artist of the same generation as Criolo, was the starting point for both lyrics and beats.

With the addition of Thomas Rohrer on the rabeca, the traditional violin from the north of Brazil, the B-side of the single, “Coccix-ência”, was recorded live in the El Rocha Studio by the superb musicians that have been Criolo’s backing band for the past two years. These two new songs, together with material from his 2006 release “Ainda Há Tempo” are now part of the repertoire of Criolo’s live shows.

On stage, Criolo performs alongside the producers Daniel Ganjaman (keyboards and electronic programming), who is also the musical director of the show, and Marcelo Cabral (acoustic and electric bass). The musicians Guilherme Held (guitar), Maurício Badé (percussion), Sérgio Machado (drums) and ‘loyal servant’ DJ Dan Dan (vocals and turntables) complete the line-up. - See more at: http://criolo.net

John Martin, the son of a stuntman was born and raised in the Southern suburbs of Stockholm, Sweden. He got his first guitar at the age 13 and formed his first band.  They played Nirvana cover songs and at the shows John usually wore a dress.

At home John sang Alice in Chains songs and his vision of life as a star grew stronger. Gradually, the covers were replaced by his own songs and the creative drive to write took over.

John worked for his family buisiness and played with his band during the weekends, performing at every bar and club that offered free dinner and drinks. However, a conflict of creative interest was leaving John with a feeling of being held back. The band was signed and after working on an album for several years the project was stopped by the record company.

In Spring 1999, John Martin performed with his rockband at a party in central Stockholm and Michel Zitron, an aspiring young songwriter and producer, attended the show. Afterwards they were introduced by a mutual friend.  It was ten years before John and Michel’s paths s crossed again.

A summernight in 2009, Michel Zitron who by now was an established songwriter/producer, was DJaying at a club in Stockholm. A drunk John Martin was in the crowd, having left his friends at the rockclub on a quest for housemusic. After closing time John and Michel ended up at the same underground club and were re-introduced by a former eurodisco artist. The duo discovered their common passion for melancholy, big melodies and clubmusic. They had a long conversation about the lack of sadness, meassages and stories in contemporary dance music.  It was decided that they should work together.

Their first songs emerged rapidly and were like prophecies from their own lifes. They realized that they were both at the same crossroads in life and musical soulmates.

Michel felt that John’s voice was bigger than the group he was currently playing with and after a number of long nights including a lot of wine, philosophy and debating about the meaning of life, they decided to make an album.

They both broke up with their girlfriends and locked themselves in the studio.

A banda Fruto Sensual foi fundada em março de 1995 na cidade de Itinga-Ma por Neco e Valéria, vocalistas da banda. No início, tocando em barzinhos, bailes, aniversários e pequenas vaquejadas, a Fruto Sensual consistiam em apenas um teclado e violão, e o repertório variava entre bolero, MPB, forró, etc…

De volta à Santa Isabel do Pará, cidade natal de Valéria, a banda continuou a expandir seus horizontes, continuando tocando em barzinhos e em bailes nas cidades vizinhas.

No início de 2001, a convite de alguns amigos dj’s, começaram a fazer músicas que homenageavam as aparelhagens, totalizando quase 300 músicas na época, o que projetou a banda para um sucesso que a levava a fazer aproximadamente trinta e oito shows por mês. A aceitação do público foi tanta, que as rádios por osmose começaram a tocar suas músicas.

O seu primeiro cd “Fruto Sensual na onda das Aparelhagens vol.1”, foi gravado independente, teve suas 19 faixas muito bem tocadas, nas quais se destacavam os hit’s “Príncipe Negro”, “Itamaraty”e “Está no ar”, um melodie que por vários meses ficou em primeiro lugar nas maiores rádios da capital do Pará, este cd vendeu mais de 100.000 cópias; em seguida, já como banda completa,vieram o “vol.2” onde modificaram sua batida de brega dance para o calypso e o melodie,Esquentando o Forró”, com seus maiores sucessos em ritmo de forró e o “vol.3” “ A Rainha das Aparelhagens” onde volta as raízes e grava tecnomelody para as aparelhagens.Continuando nos volumes 4,5,6, e 7. A banda também lançou o seu 1º DVD gravado em Belém-Pa e Macapá-Ap onde reúne novos e antigos sucessos, e o cd “vol.4”, ambos lançados pela gravadora “ATRAÇÃO” e distribuído pela MD MUSIC. Atualmente a banda conta como voz principal Valéria Paiva também compositora da banda, traz um show dançante e uma produção diferente e criativa; A banda gravou o seu 2º DVD Techno Melody Brasil em Belém na casa de show Cangalha com os novos sucessos, também o cd vol. 8 no Batidão do Techno Melody, e fez uma participação no DVD do “Movimento Melody” gravado no “Cidade Folia” com mais nove bandas e quatro aparelhagens que será lançado pela gravadora Som Livre juntamente com a BIS Produções que também empresaria a Banda.

Ao longo de sua carreira a banda recebe várias homenagens e reconhecimento público, entre eles, o troféu banda revelação de 2002, no XIX Baile dos Artistas, realizado no Hilton Hotel.

Hoje, ao completar 18 anos, a Fruto Sensual, que além de fazer shows de norte a sul do Pará, bateu recordes de público nos estados do AP, MA, TO, PI, e até mesmo na Guiana Francesa.

Graham makes big impacts on everything, especially the music industry-leading evolutionary posse' and vampiric alliances that are crawling out of the dirt to build me my empire.
