Reference Recordings is proud to announce Brasileiro Soul, a Brazilian jazz/pop album from versatile singer/songwriter/guitarist Reinaldo Brahn. Talented young Brazilian singer-songwriter-guitarist, Reinaldo Brahn, plays rich and complex music, with a killer band and exotic percussion by famed Jim Brock!

Brasileiro Soul is a collection of fourteen original songs penned by Brazilian guitarist and singer Reinaldo Brahn. The deep heritage of his guitar style, along with his rich unmistakable voice, makes Brasileiro Soul as provocative as the land that cultivated it. Veteran percussionist and producer Jim Brock refers to Reinaldo Brahn as “the new voice of Brasil.”

Young guitarist Reinaldo Brahn grew up listening to the jazzy samba music of his native Brazil, and in Brasilero Soul he weaves that heritage with new Brazilian pop styles. He left the renowned Brazilian vocal group Soul Makube to embark on a solo career. Gathering influences from Gilberto Gil, Djavan and Caetano Veloso, Reinaldo began touring his original music throughout Brazil, and then in 2006 brought his music to the United States.

Recorded at venerable Reflection Sound Studios in Charlote, NC, and engineered by Grammy-winning “Prof” Keith O. Johnson.
