Saravah Soul

The sound of Afro-Brazilian funk

About Me


.:ENGLISH:. Exploding out of the rich cultural mix in the melting-pot of London's underground music scene, comes the exciting and original sound of SARAVAH SOUL. This half-brazilian, half-british outfit has drawn upon unashamedly old-school flavours to create a new genre of RAW AFRO-BRAZILIAN FUNK! Fronted by fiery break dancer Otto Nascarella, the intensity of their live shows has earned them a reputation for wild performances and a rapidly expanding fan base. Now their ground breaking first album (self-titled Saravah Soul) has caused an international stir amongst record labels eager to sign them. Having just signed to the prolific British Label Tru-Thoughts Recordings, the band seems set on an unstoppable rise to even wider acclaim..:PORTUGUÊS:. Do caldeirão multi-cultural da cidade de Londres nasce o empolgante som da Saravah Soul. A banda de oito integrantes esta na estrada desde Julho de 2005 e vem desenvolvendo um trabalho único na mistura da música brasileira, musica soul e afro-beat. Contando com um time de primeira, a meio britânica, meio brasileira Saravah Soul já faz bastante sucesso na cena da capital inglesa, onde pode ser encontrada tocando em casas de renome, dentre elas Guanabara, Cargo e Jazz Café. Encabeçada pelo cantor/performer Otto Nascarella, a banda, que já tem uma excelente reputação pela grande energia de seus shows, assinou recentemente contrato com Tru Thoughts Recordings, um dos selos ingleses mais bem conceituados no segmento de música de vanguarda. O disco de nome homônimo ao do grupo foi lançado na Europa, América do Norte e alguns países da Asia, Oceania e África e começa a colher frutos para a banda que em Novembro vem ao Brasil pela primeira vez.CLICK HERE TO BUY OUR MUSIC!!!
