Aleh incarne la nouvelle scène fusion de la musique brésilienne. Celle qui mélange les sons du samba traditionnel au swing du rock, de la reggae et de la soul.
Au sein de son premier groupe reggae BANTUS, il connaît des débuts prestigieux en assurant la première partie du groupe mythique The Wailers lors d’une tournée nationale au Brésil.
Embrassant une carrière solo, il prend alors un virage plus groove qu’il lui permet d’exprimer toute la richesse de ses influences dans un répertoire hérité de la MPB (musique populaire brésilienne) et de la musique américaine des années 70. Avec son morceau « Dona da Banca », issu de son premier album MPBSOULSAMBAGROOVE, qui devient le générique d’une minisérie de la télé Globo, il conquiert le grand public brésilien et se classe en haut des charts.
Fait rare, en parallèle de ses succès populaires, ALEH rencontre une reconnaissance critique et l’intérêt de grands noms de la musique brésilienne qui font appel à ses talents : Daniela Mercury reprend Dona da Banca sur son cd Eletrodomestico. Ana Caroline a fait appel à ses talents et ensemble ils ont composé “Nega Marrenta”. Il se produit en première partie de Seu Jorge, collabore avec MARCELO YUKA du groupe O RAPPA.
Sa chanson « Sou do Bem » est dans la Compil Brazilian Grooves du label PUTUMAYO. "Dona da Banca" fait partie de la Compil Nu Brazil 2 et de Brazil Lounge Dois. Puis la cahnson « Obatala » est dans la Compil Chill Brazil 6 avec des grands noms de la chanson brésilienne : Gilberto Gil, Bebel Gilberto…
Par ailleurs sa carrière solo, Aleh fait partie du renouveau de la légendaire Banda Black Rio, en tant que chanteur, compositeur et arrangeur. La Banda Black Rio s’est initiée dans les 70 avec Oberdan Magalhaes et s’est renouvelée en 2000 avec son fils William Magalhaes. - Votre Biosphère à Paris
Soirée après Taff ( entrée liiibre !!! ) dès 20H, show case live : ALEH FERREIRA (samba soul do Brasil) + RKK set (groove Brasil mix).
Au Brésil, il s'est fait connaître comme chanteur d'un groupe reggae, avant d'être reconnu dans la galaxie samba rock/samba soul, quelque part entre Jorge Ben et Seu Jorge : une grande aisance pour porter un groove gorgé de soleil. Aleh Ferreira a aussi participé à la renaissance d'un groupe mythique des 70's, Banda Black Rio. Une soirée estivale pour dribbler l'automne et attaquer la saison 2013/14.

OQuadro is one of the pioneer bands of New School Hip Hop in Brazil, known for their innovative mix of urban rhythms with typical candomblé and ijexá with Dub and Afrobeats, without losing the quality of Rap.
The band has already gathered fame back home in Brazil, nominated for the Hutuz Award (the biggest Hip Hop festival in Latin America), and have been selected for numerous projects by the Culture Chamber of the state of Bahia. In London, they’ve achieved ground-braking shows at The Great Escape, London’s Roundhouse and Notting Hill Arts Club this year.

16. ja 20. juulil esineb Tallinna vanalinna populaarseimas elava muusika klubis Clazz Brasiilia laulja ja helilooja Aleh Ferreira.
Rio de Janeirost pärit Aleh Ferreira sai Brasiilias tuntuks, kui tema lugu "Dona da Banca" kõlas ühes populaarses teleseriaalis, mis aga oli alles algus. Viimase 30 aasta jooksul on tema lood olnud nii filmides kui seriaalides, mitmed laulud Aleh'i albumitelt "Mpbsoulsambagroove" ja "Aleh+Samba" on avaldatud erinevatel kogumikel rohkem kui 50s riigis üle maailma. Aleh on ka ise palju ümber maailma tuuritanud, nii sooloartistina kui ka näiteks legendaarse Brasiilia funk-soul bändi Band Black Rio solistina. Muuhulgas on ta üles astunud Pariisis Studio du L'Ermitage'is, Maison de L'Amerique Latine'is ja New Morning'is, Ronnie Scott'sis Londonis ja Paradisos Amsterdamis. Nüüd avaneb esmakordselt võimalus teda Eesti lavalaudadel näha.
16. juuli kontsert toimub Clazzi teisipäevaõhtuste kuumade rütmide peosarja Brazilian Night raames. Ferreira astub üles koos Brazilian Night'i resident-bändiga, kuhu kuuluvad Eesti juurtega Ameerika kitarrist Jei Virunurm, noor tõusev täht Janno Trump bassil ning mitmete Eesti tippude bändidesse kuuluv trummar Dmitri Nikolajevski.
Laupäeval 20. juulil lisandub bändi koosseisu veel hetkel Euroopas viibiv Brasiilia löökpillivõlur Tiago Loei. - Publik Delfi

Bio
Singer and composer. Having made his debut with the reggae band BANTUS in the mid-1990s during a national tour with legendary The Wailers, and composed songs for TV series, Aleh helped revive Banda Black Rio together with Wilian Magalhães and co-produced the album of Cassiano who, like Tim Maia, is considered a great master of Black Brazilian Music. Before even staring his solo career, Aleh’s song "Sou do Bem" was launched in more than 50 countries in a compilation Brazilian Grooves under Putumayo seal. In 2002, he was sponsored by Jorge Mautner in a project Novo Canto. Aleh then released his album MPBSoulSambaGroove (Nikita) and one of the songs “Dona da Banca” became the soundtrack for a TV series “A Diarista”. The CD was well received by artists, opinion makers and critics. After being recorded by the singer Daniela Mercury on her CD/DVD “Eletrodoméstico”, the song “Dona da Banca” entered mpilations in countries like Portugal (Brasil Lounge 2), England (Nu Brazil 2) and Brazil (Nova Ordem Musical). In 2003, while he was on tour with his shows in Brazil, Aleh joined great musicians who were part of the revitalization of Brazilian music. It was a spontaneous movement that emerged in Lapa, an area that has always been considered the cradle of bohemia, and resurfaced in a new multicultural version forming a new scene of Brazilian music. It was in this reality that Aleh joined the group Garrafieira who released their CD in 2004 under BISCOITO FINO seal and went on to win PRÊMIO TIM 2005 as the best MBP band. In the summer of 2005, full of events, 5000 people showed up at Ipanema beach to watch "Vivo ao Vivo", an event celebrating the city of Rio de Janeiro, where Aleh performed alongside artists such as Sandra de Sá, Banda Black Rio, Cláudio Zoli and trumpeter Márcio Montarroios. In January, he received an invitation from Ana Carolina to participate in "Encontros Tim", an event taking place in the acoustic shell of the Castro Alves Theatre in Salvador, during which he was very enthusiastically received by an audience of 7000 people. Aleh composed songs for the singer who recorded his material in 3 consecutive albums: “Ana &Jorge”, “2 quartos” and “2 quartos ao vivo”. In that same month, the singer Seu Jorge invited Aleh to perform with him in São Paulo. In another successful show, Aleh left the stage of "Via Funchal" to enerous applause from the excited audience of about 8000 who were singing his hits “SOU DO BEM” and “DONA DA BANCA”.
Alongside all these activities, ALEH has always been involved in social projects such as “Coral Nação Mangueirense” that not only serves the youth of the community but also the members of the Mangueira Samba School and everybody from the surrounding areas. At present, ALEH is taking part in "Batucadas Brasileiras" - "Orquestra de Percussão Robertinho Silva", a cultural revitalization project of the harbour zone, sponsored by Petrobrás. Working alongside the composer, conductor and percussionist Carlos Negreiros and the great drummer Robertinho Silva, he performs, composes, arranges and shares his entire musical experience with the students. The studio album of Batucadas Brasileiras features such artists as Marcelinho da Lua, BNegão, Carlos Malta, Wagner Tiso, Marcus Suzano, Moacir Luz among others. Another project of great importance is "Caravana Liberdade & Expressão"; Aleh performed concerts in prisons, activating the libraries, with the goal of bringing art and education for inmates.
With DJ MAM he created the "Sotaque Carregado" which merges the regional Brazilian music with electronic music. The band won the last prize "Conexão Vivo". He has sung and composed music for the last project of the composer and social activist Marcelo Yuka, icon of the famous band O Rappa. ALEH’s songs have also been featured on the soundtrack of films such as "Elvis e Madonna" which includes his "Cyber Cabaret". The film was directed by Marcelo Laffitte and before entering the national circuit, it competed in festivals in New York at the Tribeca Film 2010, the annual festival of independent film in New York, created by actor Robert De Niro, and in Paris, France, at the Festival du Cinéma Brésilien. The soundtrack featured such great artists as Elza Soares and Gilberto Gil. In Silvio Tendler’s film entitled “Utopia e Barbárie”, Aleh interpreted “Linda Máquina” by Marcelo Yuca, which was the original soundtrack of the film. In 2010, ALEH released his album “Aleh + Samba” which features, among others, the great masters Wilson das Neves, Paulo Moura and Zeca Da Cuíca.
