COME TO BRAZIL
WHY DO SO MANY WORLD MUSIC LEGENDS WANT TO PERFORM AT THE BEST OF BLUES AND ROCK FESTIVAL
JOE BONAMASSA
"I'm looking around here and we see a lot of Iron Maiden and Fugazi T-shirts. We see a lot of heavy rock'n'roll and I haven't been here for 11 years.
There wasn't much recognition 11 years ago, but because of social media, it doesn't matter, put up a picture of a car and there will be someone chiming in saying 'come to Brazil'.
So I have two questions: is it the same person with ten different accounts doing this? Or is there a real audience?”
ERIC GALES
Eric, extremely charismatic and smiling, made it clear that he loves Brazil:
“I’ve been to Brazil three or four times, in many different places. And it’s always been the best time, the best food, the best people, the best audience, the best shows, everything. It’s been incredible.”
“I think the blues is very contagious anywhere in the world. I think once it’s played, heard and received, the feeling is very mutual. I mean, whether it’s in Brazil, China or Africa, Memphis, Tennessee, Los Angeles, Nashville, anywhere and that’s one thing I’m very, very lucky about.”
ZAKK SABBATH
For the 57-year-old guitarist, the prospect of sharing the stage with these talents and reliving previous experiences in Brazil is exciting:
"The last time we were in Brazil, we had a great time. It was incredible. Plus, I'll be alongside my partners Joe [Bonamassa] and Kiko [Loureiro], all killing it. So I'm looking forward to seeing them and everyone again and having a great time."
"It's always amazing. Every time I go to Brazil it's amazing because everyone is so passionate and full of energy. And let's not forget the Brazilian steakhouses!"
KIKO LOUREIRO
Kiko Loureiro, who was part of Megadeth until recently, commented on his new solo phase and how significant it has been to explore this musical autonomy at Brazilian festivals.
He has mentioned in interviews the desire to offer a unique and profound experience on his guitar, bringing a mix of his influences from metal and Brazilian music, which reflects the eclectic spirit of Best of Blues and Rock.
CPM 22
Badaui, lead singer of CPM 22, has highlighted in past interviews his pride in being part of festivals that celebrate the diversity of rock and its different styles.
At events like Best of Blues and Rock, he emphasizes the band's commitment to representing Brazilian punk rock and the joy of playing for a new generation, who often discover CPM 22's sound at live shows.
For Badaui, these live events are an opportunity to unite new and old fans around an intense and memorable energy.
DI FERRERO
Di Ferrero, known for his intense energy and connection with his audience, often shares in interviews how his live performance is an extension of his love for music and interacting with fans.
He values this collective energy that emerges between stage and audience, especially at large and diverse festivals like Best of Blues and Rock, where he frequently comments on the importance of innovating and bringing new experiences to the audience.
