BIO Chico Correa & Band (Joao Pessoa, Brazil)

The 29 year-old Chico Correa was born in the state of Bahia and has lived in João Pessoa since 1995.
He plays the guitar, but is also active as a producer, DJ and live act. His tracks are influenced by brazilian folk music, such as coco, samba and baião rhythms, mixing melodies from Brazil's northeast with electronic grooves.
In 2005/2006 he produced two Cds: Cabruera's "Sons da Paraíba" and the release of his own band "Chico Correa & Electronic Band".
Chico Correa & Electronic Band's project uses lots of electronic music-loops but also has a complete band section, their repertoire ranging from completely organic tracks (no overdubs) to fully edited/processed stuff. The result is a blend of public domain lyrics, (using well-known melodies from the two brazillian states Paraíba and Pernambuco's folk music), eletronic music concepts and jamming with singers, saxophone players, an afrobrazilian percussion set and a rock power trio.
As a producer, he has worked on film-soundtracks, commercials and documentaries. His music and the remixes he has done for other musicians were released in Europe and Japan.
