Bio
The band Cabruêra started in Campina Grande, Paraíba (Brazil), in 1998.
Vivid Arthur Pessoa who decided to switch his Cultural Anthropologies studies to adventure into modern music with Cabruêra is not the only one inventive and creative.
Edy Gonzaga keeps the pulse of the band with his four string bass guitar and sometimes is leading a vocal or playing the agogo in the rhythm section.
Pablo Ramires, who played in several heavy metal bands in Brazil before he hits Cabruera and created a perfect combination with his drums to rock and grooves.
At least one of the famoust remixer from Brazil - Chico Correa - joined the group and so the fresh flavor of technic and sound kicked Cabruera into the next dimension.
A new music style was born.
Cabruêra toured already 7 years in a row in several European countries, like Netherlands, Denmark (Roskilde) , Germany (POPKOMM), Portugal, Italy (WOMAD), France (MIDEM) Chechz.........
In 2001 Cabruêra released their first album, "Cabruêra". They recorded their second album in 2004 produced by Nilo Romero, “O Samba da Minha Terra”, which has been released internationally through PIRANHA Musik with a new sequencing, mixing and under the new title “Proíbido Cochilar – Sambas for sleepless Nights”.
Followed by "SonsDaParaiba", Cabruêra showed that Popular Folk Songs can be universalized if 4 enthusiastic musicians take care of it. With a new instrumentation and new arrangements these "old" songs became a full facelift.
"SonsDaParaiba" is free for licensing and publishing worldwide.
After countless gigs in Brazil in 2008 and 2009 and some in Europe, Cabruêra finished their actual Album "Visagem" produced by Joao Parahyba, better known as the "Comanche". The Album sets another landmark in Brazilian Indie Music! Full of hypnotic rhythms and never heard fusions....even including a motor saw on "Fumaca". All produced independently and ready for licensing and publishing. Get a listen, get hypnotized, discover new musical horizons.....
