Amplexos

Brazilian band of Volta Redonda - R.J. Band members: Eduardo Valiante Da Rocha (Guga) (Voice, Guitar) / Leandro G. Vilela (Guitar, Vocals) / Marcelo Henrique (Martché) (Keyboards, Vocals) / Leandro Tolentino (Percussion) / Flávio Polito (Bass) / André (Mestre André) (Drums) [s]Rafael Lugon (Guitar)[/s] / [s]Helton Ventura (Drums)[/s] Genre: Rock / Reggae / Afro / Cuba The band already has 4 studio albums (Amplexos, 2008 / A Música da Alma, 2012 / A Música da Alma DUB, 2014 and Sendeiro, 2015), as well as participations in collections and the single Jerusalem (2014). The mix of psychedelic rock with Afro-Latin rhythms and the group's spiritual message place Amplexos among the main representatives of contemporary music in Rio de Janeiro, with highly vibrant and hypnotic presentations, loaded with the low frequencies of dub and the warmth of funk / afrobeat. In 'Sendeiro', the group, which has already worked with names such as Mad Professor, Buguinha Dub, Victor Rice, The Scientist, Marcelo Yuka, Oghene Kologbo and other important figures of world music, seeks to expand the scope of their message with more direct lyrics and the strength of those who see music as a mission to raise people's awareness.
