Banda de Boca

Banda de Boca is a Brazilian band from Salvador da Bahia, made up of five singers and friends. The personal style of the band is created by performing beautiful compositions and arrangements by consummate musician Hiran Monteiro. Their vocal imitations of musical instruments like guitar, bass, and percussion are really impressive. They do not use any kind of real instrument, only voices - as it says on their CD jacket "Todos os sons produzidos pela voz." The secret to their success? Many rehearsal sessions...

Four man, one woman Brazilian a cappella Jazz ensemble from Salvador da Bahia present their debut CD and lovely, full-color liner notes, all in Portuguese. Ditto with their website, but one of the things we love about a cappella is that the music speaks very eloquently for itself! There are 14 juicy, original tunes here, written and arranged (as far as we can tell) by talented Brazilian composer and musician Hiran Montiero. Banda uses only voices, has a sweet, sassy, funky-clean sound, and specializes in faux horns, guitar, bass and percussion. Listen to the drum lead on "Relampiono," the horn solo on "Chico Bento," and the sizzling percussion on the Salsa tune "Domingo No Parque" to get a taste of what this group can do. Other favorites are the moody "Muito Mais," finger-snapping "Cada Olhar," joyous "Palavra" and the percussion gem "Bilboque." Don't let the no-English issue keep you from enjoying one of the most cutting-edge, high-energy Vocal Jazz groups we've heard in a long time. Every cut is a winner!
