DEMOS


The tradition of North East Brazil
in tune with the urban grooves of the world

With his work, Ivan Santos follows Brazilian songwriter traditions. In his compositions, he blends traditional Brazilian tunes with modern and urban world music, showing that the "feelings of his village" are universal. Everyone who listens closely can identify oneself easily with the different facets of the compositions. It’s music for “body and brain” – even those people who don’t dance will feel like dancing.

Humorous entertainment and innovation are the main ingredients of his concerts. The band plays the songs of the CD, always a bit differently, and includes other compositions by Santos and some cover versions of traditional music. Baião and Coco, rhythms of North East Brazil, are almost always part of the concert, but there is much more to discover. Funk, R&B and oriental grooves are blended naturally and almost as a matter of fact with Brazilian rhythms.
