A New Brazilian Band: FATOR B

When the drummer Fábio Barreto decided to invite Edu and Joca Giglio to his studio, to record some music together, he never imagined that he would be opening the way for a radical change in the lives of his old friends and, consequently, giving the start to a beautiful adventure. For the first time, after 15 years, they would once again play together since “Areia Quente” (Brazilian rock band extinct in the early 90’s). Fábio’s intension was to provide his old friends with the opportunity, even if for a moment, to be in touch with the music they hadn’t been in touch with for so long. For distinct reasons Edu and Joca had completely abandoned any relationship with the art, and followed their own way. Being so that in July of 2005 the three friends modestly began the carvings of three songs, all with the signature of Joca: They were songs of a time when their goals and dreams were different, life was less troubled, and the roads ahead were less winding. Fábio’s objective being, that this encounter could produce something that would stay registered as a reminder of that experience, and that Edu and Joca might follow their walks of life with a little more lightness and hopefulness. But Fábio achieved a lot more than that: He brought back the music that had fallen asleep inside his old friends, and with it, the chance to build together a history, called FATOR B.
Their first CD, called RESGATE is in post production but you can already check out some of their work at http://fatorb3.blogspot.com/
The Blog is in portuguese, but you can still enjoy some of their songs and check out their pictures.
Feel free to leave comments there for them, I'm sure they will love it!
I hope you all enjoy their music as much as I have!
