About Me

A bossa elétrica is a vibrant live band with the roots in brazilian music. Fine melodies with lyrics in portuguese. Jazzy, sometimes complex harmonies but always with a steady groove for the feet. The album "Eletrificacao" was released in 2004 on Raw Fusion Records along with some 12 inches with remixes. A bossa elétrica is currently recording a new album on their own label Connective Records. Hopefully to be coming out in spring 2007.Fantastic ! - DJ Adrian Gibson (London)A bossa is great! I have listened and played it out in clublife ! Can´t wait to hear your new goodies! - DJ Tom Wieland (Les Gammas, Vienna)A Bossa Eletrica's interpretations of the brazilian bossanova, samba and mpb is truly one of a kind. They are simply the best "new" brazilian band I've heard together with Da Lata. Their version of "Tombo 7/4" is just 100% magic from start to finish and will mash up any club that have a soft spot for brazilian rhythms. - DJ Mad Mats (Raw Fusion, Stockholm)Great ! I received a copy of your EP and was very impressed. - DJ CLIFFY (London)
