Reinaldo Brahn, guitar
Jim Brock, percussion
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.” Gorgeous lyrics in Portugese (with one song in English). Young guitarist Reinaldo Brahn grew up listening to the jazzy samba music of his native Brazil. On 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. The sonics from Grammy-winning engineer Keith Johnson will ensure enthusiastic reception by audiophiles and music lovers. Recorded at venerable Reflection Sound Studios in Charlote, NC, scene of several RR past successes.

Reviews:
“Brahn’s smooth soulful vocal tone is reminiscent of Stevie Wonder in its delivery, while he also adds in some jazzy scatting from time to time. His guitar playing offers a generally acoustic tone coaxed to its edges through finger picking, strumming and the right amount of pluck. … Meanwhile, Brock’s wizardry on percussion is simply stunning as he combined a snare, high hat, drum, cajón and other instruments…”-Jeff Hahne, Creative Loafing Charlotte
