Cheiro de Vida

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'd like to add yet another Brazilian artist to JMA: "Cheiro de Vida" is a fusion band from Brazil's southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul was formed by André Gomes (bass, sitar), Carlos Martau (guitar, krika) and Alexandre Fonseca (drums, percussion). They have so far released only two albums: "Cheiro de Vida" (1984) and "Vivo" (1988), the former recorded in studio, the latter recorded live.
The most proeminent feature of the band is, by far, André Gomes's bass playing prowess, inspired by Stanley Clark (to whom they dedicated a song). The other members, though somewhat ofuscated by Mr. Gomes, are also excellent musicians and have their moments to shine as well.

Albums:
-"Cheiro de Vida" (1984):
1. Fechado Para Balanço
2. Asas Longas
3. Entre Estrelas
4. Tema do Bonder
5. Crepúsculo

	If you'll excuse me, but the line-up of "Cheiro de Vida" (1984), is incomplete. The official website does not mention who plays which instruments, but can't with settle with other (even if less trustworthy) sources?
