Grooveria

Música para bailar, música para escuchar, música para relajarse… así es la música de Grooveria, un colectivo musical que nace 10 años atrás en los escenarios de clubes y teatros de los alrededores de Brasil. Protagonistas de las noches más exitosas de ciudades como São Paulo, el pasado domingo decidieron cruzar el charco para dar su primer concierto en nuestro país con motivo del Día de Brasil. Sobre el escenario, colocado para la ocasión en el Moll de la Marina, disfrutaron de ese primer contacto con el público español; aunque, como cabía esperar, muchos compatriotas brasileños no quisieron perder la oportunidad de verles en directo.
Tras más de una hora de concierto, Revista R@mbla tuvo la oportunidad de cruzar unas palabras con Tuto Ferraz, batería, voz y fundador de la banda; aunque a él no le gusta llamarla así: ‘No considero que Grooveria sea una banda, es un colectivo, porque la gente que lo conforma siempre está cambiando’. Escuchándolos cualquiera puede darse cuenta de que no se trata del tradicional ‘colectivo’ que toca música brasileña. ‘Si tenemos que definir la música que hacemos podríamos decir que es una mezcla de funk, samba y jazz. Pero en realidad es mucho más. Cogemos ritmos que nos gusten de cualquier parte del mundo y hacemos nuestros los temas, hacemos que tengan nuestra sonoridad. Además de nuestras propias canciones’, nos aclara Ferraz.
Groovería cuenta ya con un CD (2005, ‘Grooveria’) y un DVD/CD (2009, ‘Grooveria electroacústica’) a sus espaldas con colaboraciones de élite como Max de Castro, Toninho Horta, Seu Jorge,Claudio Zoli, Rappin’Hood, Paula Lima o Simoninha,entre otros. Su último trabajo, ha estado dirigido y producido por el multi galardonado director y productor brasileño Roberto Olivera, quién ha trabajado con Chico Buarque, Elis Regina y Tom Jobim, por nombrar algunos. ‘Nuestro proyecto ahora es terminar nuestro tercer CD. En él habrá unas seis canciones propias y algunas versiones ‘, nos confiesa Tuto.
No podíamos terminar nuestra conversación con Tuto sin preguntarle por el origen del nombre de este ‘colectivo’. ‘Groove es la palabra inglesa que se refiere a los surcos que conforman un engranaje y cuando la música está bien encajada, como un engranaje, a esa música se la denomina ‘groovy’ y Grooveria es como si fuese una maquina de ‘grooves’’, concluye el cantante. - Revista R@mbla - Barcelona - Spain

BARCELONA, 26 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS)

Barcelona celebrará el 5 de septiembre el Día de Brasil en el Moll de la Marina, junto al Puerto Olímpico, y lo hará con diez horas de música en las que actuarán grupos de samba, capoeira, funk y forró, con la intención de convocar a más de 5.000 asistentes.

La segunda edición de esta celebración gratuita estará centrada en la música popular brasileña: "No queremos poner cantantes guapos con melodías pegadizas, sino a los verdaderos embajadores de un fenómeno que ha sabido renovarse con gran vitalidad", explica en un comunicado Cristiano Andrade, de la ONG Diversia, entidad organizadora del evento.

Las actuaciones arrancarán a las 12 horas con un espectáculo de capoeira y maculelé, y ya por la tarde la protagonista será la samba del Grupo Candeeiro, una banda formada por cuatro brasileños afincados en Barcelona.

Una de las propuestas más originales es la de Saravacalé, una grupo de cuatro españoles y cuatro brasileños que fusiona palos del flamenco con ritmos de bossanova. Más tarde será el turno de Grooveria, con su samba-funk venida de Sao Paulo.

Las actuaciones se cerrarán con un estilo musical prácticamente desconocido en España pero muy popular en Brasil: el forró, un género típico del nordeste del país con el acordeón como elemento central que interpretarán Forró Afiado.

The live shows of the brazilian combo, Grooveria are famous. In its mixture of samba, funk, jazz and hip-hop, dancing is an obligation to the public.

Barcelona has known and verified that everything said about these guys is true. They are pure energy on stage. The Catalan city was chosen to make his first appearance in Europe. Grooveria is a group based in São Paulo who released its first production in 2005. His albums tend to occupy leading positions in sales and major radio stations. The secret is to mix tradition with modern sounds of samba.

During Grooveria's presentations there are not only direct references of Brazilian music, but there is also an important contribution of sounds from other parts of the world.

"We do a combination of Brazilian music with American sounds. We love to do versions of songs by famous folk artists of our country. People who had an important role in the 1970 and 1980," says the singer and drummer Tuto Ferraz.

It explains that they are more a collective of artists that a fixed group. "10 years ago I called some friends and invited them to do a jam session. The difference was that we would improvise in terms of arrangement and interpretation of known songs as opposed to solely improvising. We play what we like and we used to do the arrangements on the spot. No rehearsal or sound check," he says.

Grooveria is formed, together with Ferraz, by DJ Rick Dub, and guitarist Leonardo Mendes. "People are very involved with our music when we're on stage. It is a vivid feeling, we do not play the songs on autopilot," said Ferraz.

The group has produced two CDs, one of which includes a DVD of performances in Brazil. They are also working on the release of a third work, they hope to present in 2011 in Spain.

About teh audience in Azores, the musician also has a say: "I loved the audience. The impression I had was that they were into it too. I heard that the festival has always had a tradition of bringing people who are not necessarily known to the public. And it is good that the audience have this openness to receive and absorb a new sound and then follow '.

With the support of people like Claudio Zoli, Jair Oliveira, Paula Lima, Max de Castro, Max Viana and Rappin'Hood, the debut disc Grooveria resembles a giant jam session represented faithfully in rewrites for When Doves Cry and What Clothes , originally from Santa Rosa. Not surprisingly the band was born from a series of jams at the same stage of the Forest. A mix of black music with MPB already made the head of the new generation of Brazilian music, just listen to FM programming from New to realize that the medallions are losing ground to the new MPB.

Led by Tuto Ferraz, Groove features musicians known to the night clubs. The work, produced by the Tuto can keep the soul of jams, allowing the listener to travel between the arrangements very well constructed, making the vocal work function as a separate instrument, also merit Tuto, responsible for the vocals along with Alexandre Grooves and Marcelo Lima, in addition to several guests. The letters, perhaps the theme of the project remain in the background, acting under the truck loops, guitar riffs, bass lines and excellent arrangements of drums, justified when we remember the spirit of jams sessions: a gathering of musician friends playing without a pre-defined logic.
