Mombojó - Alexandre

Mombojó is a band from Pernambuco (Brazil) that was born in the garage and at school, among young adults, in the early 2000s when Recife was experiencing a rich and diverse music scene: the post-manguebeat. Members: (Drums and Vocals), (Bass and Vocals), (Guitar and Vocals), (Keyboards, Synthesizer, Electric Piano and Vocoders), (Vocals and Guitar). , , (Bass). The band has three very distinct phases in its history. The first album, "Nadadenovo" (2004), was the work supported by the Law of Incentive to Culture (Recife) of the then 7 boys, practically all performed in his hometown with producers from Recife (Leo D & William P (Mr. Mouse ) and Igor Medeiros) and Recife studios. All the songs were made available simultaneously on the Web with a Creative Commons license, the CD was distributed to newsstands throughout Brazil by the magazine "Outro Coisa" (2004/2005), and the band won the APCA award (Associação Paulista de Crítica de Arte) twice as the best musical group (2005 and 2006). The second album, "Homem Espuma" (2006), was born by the contract with the label Trama and countless hours of experimentation in studios in São Paulo, with the musical producers Daniel Ganjaman (Institute) and Lúcio Maia (Nação Zumbi). This was a period of many learnings, based on a professional audio structure, on the orchestrated use of metals, on contact with many different partners ... A period that ended for the band at the same time of a deep crisis in the traditional phonographic market . This phase was also marked by the death of O Rafa, forever the conductor of Mombojó, and the departure of Marcelo Campello, who continued on his solo career. On the album, "Amigo do Tempo" (2010), the band resurfaces with 5 components and returns to independence, but without the incentives of the law and with its own resources, and the musical producers Pupillo (Nação Zumbi), Rodrigo Sanches, Evaldo Luna and the Mombojó band itself. Recorded over 3 years in at least 8 different studios, some assembled from scratch as in the setting of a farm in the city of Aldeia (PE), the band included in this record arrangements with more instruments than those used in the previous two records, performed by a dozen guests, including the Youth Orchestra of the Pernambuco Conservatory of Music and the Recife Symphony Orchestra. China is a partner songwriter on all three albums. The band is still on activity and had already recorded more albums.
