About Me

Brazil's culture is a rich mosaic of many cultures of the world. No wonder Pedra Branca band, from São Paulo, Brazil, plays ethnical instruments and electronic timbres to create Brazilian experimental music.The band Pedra Branca has performed its first songs in 2001, in the city of São Paulo. By 2003 they had achieved success with different audiences, in different regions of Brazil, which led to the release of their first album with the label Chill-Art and record WFC. The record would be released in Europe in year 2005.In 2006, Pedra Branca obtained visibility through television broadcasting with their prominent performance at Skol Beats Festival. The band's performance at Boom Festival, in Portugal, gained them success with both critics and audiences, marking the world premiere of their second album, Feijoada Polifônica with Chill-Art/WFC, this time with international distribution by Arabesque.Other forms of art are always welcome: for Pedra Branca, the concept of "jam" includes the parallel performance of dancers, VJs and actors.Pedra Branca (which means White Stone) was a Brazilian indian who became a powerful cure entity after he passed away. According to the folk myth, his spirit is able to heal human pain when he manifests during shamanic ceremonies.
