OKeh short history: 

OKeh was founded by Otto K. E. Heinemann when he set up his own recording studio and gramophone record pressing plant in New York City in September 1918. Heinemann formed the name of the record label "OKeh", from his initials.  OKeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies. OKeh produced lines of recordings in German, Czech, Polish, Swedish, and Yiddish for the USA's immigrant communities. In 1920, Ralph Peer's recordings by African-American blues singer Mamie Smith were a surprise smash hit for Okeh. The company perceived the significant, little-tapped market for blues and jazz by African American artists. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke are only a few names of jazz greats that have recorded for the label. By 1926 Columbia Records bought the label and kept it running into the 60's with jazz and R&B recordings. 

In 1994, Sony Music reactivated the OKeh label as a new-age Blues label. Okeh's first new signings included Keb' Mo, Popa Chubby, and Little Axe. By 2000, the Okeh label was again retired, but in 2013 it will see its re-launch as a jazz label once again.

Solon Fishbone is the foremost leader from south and vitally important pioneer of Blues music in Brazil. A true guitar wizard, Fishbone's dynamic, explosive style catapulted him to the top of the burgeoning Brazilian Blues scene, quickly becoming a regular headline performer at major Blues festivals and events. "Solon Fishbone y Los Cobras" have played to enthusiastic audiences throughout Brazil and South America for 20 years and were largely responsible for the boom of the Blues in Porto Alegre and southern Brazil.
Around 1993 he began appearing on the scene in the largest Brazilian city of São Paulo and quickly secured a record deal with a major Brazilian label who released his 1994 debut album, "Blues From The Southlands" which was a resounding hit and a choice pick by music critics "in the know".
During his career Solon Fishbone has shared the stage and played with many music luminaries including Wilson Pickett, Pinetop Perkins, Jeff Healey, Roomful Of Blues, Luther Allison, Derek Trucks, Billy Branch, John Primer, Phil Guy and Eddie C. Campbell, who's album "Show de Bola", was produced and recorded by Solon, receiving high praise in Chicago.
With his 1996 release of "Heart and Soul", in addition to touring extensively throughout Brazil, Fishbone firmly established his place in the Brazilian Blues music world.
His third album, "Blues Galore", was released in 1999 and was considered by Guitar Player Magazine - Brazil
as "...a new way to the Blues in the land of Samba and Carnival".
Though the Blues is where his heart is, Fishbone's influences are far-reaching, ranging from traditional Blues masters Albert, BB and Freddie King, Eric Clapton and the Vaughan Brothers to Jazz Masters Jimmy Smith, Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery and John Coltrane as well as contemporary guitar greats such as Carlos Santana, Ronnie Earl and Roben Ford.
In 2004 Solon released "Instrumental Mood", an album that blends Blues, Jazz and Latin music elements.
Solon's latest album, "Fish Tones", features band mates Cristiano Bertolucci on drums and John Maldonado on keyboards as well as special appearances by several other Blues artist friends.
"Fish Tones" brings together all of Solon's musical influences, creating a kind of musical mosaic that encompasses Jazz, on "Red Top", Delta Blues on " Blues For Mother Earth" featuring Gaspo Harmonica, Texas blues on Freddie King's, "See See Baby", featuring young Brazilian Blues singer Alice Azambuja, and "I Love The Woman", featuring harmonicist Ale Ravanello. "Fish Tones" opening track, "What's On Your Mind", features special guest appearances by Brazilian harmonica virtuoso Alex Rossi and Mississippi native, guitarist and founding member of the seminal Brazilian Blues band, "Blues Etilicos", Greg Wilson.
Solon pays tribute to Texas Blues Masters Albert Collins on the tune, "C" As In Collins", and BB King with his traditional tune, "The Woman I Love". "Fish Tones" also showcases several original tunes including a classic low down shuffle, "She's So Hard To Find", and Latin inspired instrumental tracks, "Por La Isla" and "Cool Breezes".

"Fish Tones" has already received rave reviews and is destined to be one of the top Blues releases of 2012.

Funkalister is a instrumental group formed in 2002. Black music isthe main influence of the group is, mostly of the funk’s  “golden era” of the 70’s, plus rock, a bit of jazz and the swing of samba rhythms.
The group has a typical sound  that can take you back to the 60’s and 70’s easily. The amazing horn section  of sax, trombone, trumpet and flute are strongly anchored by the fundamental groove of bass and drums mixed with electronic  and analogic keyboards ,such as synthetizers, electric pianos and clavinet.  
From the endless source of the musical universe, some well-known names should be not forgotten as big influences of the vintage sound of Funkalister: Eumir Deodato, Banda Black Rio, Robson Jorge e Lincoln Olivetti, João Donato, Parliament-Funkadelic, James Brown e Stevie Wonder, just to name a few.

As time goes by, during the year of 2006 the band got bigger, and a strong unity of great musicians got togheter to record the first CD, simply called Volume 1.  After some time playing, composing and hard work, the group was sharping the edges and maturing the creative process of making groovy songs. Between 2007 and 2008 the group went back to the studio and with a little help of others fellow musicians recorded the Volume 2.  The second record was released in october of 2008 and more people started to follow the band at the ultra-high energy gigs they performed. A lot of songs composed by the group were used as soundtracks for movies, radio shows and, of course, black music dj’s love to play the cool music of Funkalister on various parties and events.
Until 2010, the group,( that was mainly concentrated on studio work and recordings), began to play out more often, captivating a crescent number of die-hard fans. Some highlights of this great year for the group are: The performance at Brasil Rural Contemporâneo Music Festival, sharing the stage with famous artists in Brasil, such as Gilberto Gil, Monobloco, Nei Lisboa, Frank Jorge, among others. The first gig of the group in a theather  (Teatro Renascença, in the city of Porto Alegre with the special presence of the famous singer and guitar player Luís Vagner). The first gig of the band in the city of São Paulo, (SESC Vila Mariana), and the participation at the Circuito Bohemia de Música Instrumental, performing two incredible shows.

In 2011 the group is at its full power, playing gigs, spreading out its infectious grooves on very well composed  instrumental songs, trying to play at “as many places as possible” and also preparing the production and release of their third studio álbum, Volume 3.
