Chico Correa & Band
:: Joao Pessoa / Brazil ::
The 29 year-old Chico Correa was born in the state of Bahia and has lived in João Pessoa since 1995.
He plays the guitar, but is also active as a producer, DJ and live act. His tracks are influenced by brazilian folk music, such as coco, samba and baião rhythms, mixing melodies from Brazil's northeast with electronic grooves.
In 2005/2006 he produced two Cds: Cabruera's "Sons da Paraíba" and the release of his own band "Chico Correa & Electronic Band".
Chico Correa & Electronic Band's project uses lots of electronic music-loops but also has a complete band section, their repertoire ranging from completely organic tracks (no overdubs) to fully edited/processed stuff. The result is a blend of public domain lyrics, (using well-known melodies from the two brazillian states Paraíba and Pernambuco's folk music), eletronic music concepts and jamming with singers, saxophone players, an afrobrazilian percussion set and a rock power trio.
When performing without his band, he is known as Live Pa Project, building his sets from improvising with electronic loops, using step sequencers, midi overdubs and samples from organic grooves and brazilian roots-melodies. His history of live-acts includes playing at raves and electronic music festivals. When DJing, he is known for playing old sambas, carimbós, forrós and other kinds of brazilian popular music. As a producer, he has worked on film-soundtracks, commercials and documentaries. His music and the remixes he has done for other musicians were released in Europe and Japan.
