China is from Recife and was part of a band called Sheik Tosado in the 90's. Since then, he left his own mark on the stage. You never know where he is, because he's always jumping, running, sliding and dancing, dancing, dancing.
Today, Sheik Tosado does not exist anymore, so, China divides his time between his solo career and the lead vocal for a band called Del Rey. Alone, he's preparing his sophomore album with his own songs. With Del Rey, a project with the boys from Mombojó, he's doing shows all over Brazil singing the amazing songs of Roberto Carlos. And, always, dancing, dancing, dancing.
So, Pocket music presents the opposite of this China. Just voice and guitar, one thing that he claims he never does in public. China sings two songs with a bossa nova style, sitting down and restrained like we've never seen him before.
SIDE B - ANTI-HERÓI

SIDE A - CANÇÃO QUE NÃO MORRE NO AR

"Canção que não morre no ar" (China/ Bruno Ximarú) is our never heard before side A, but, soon it will be released in China's next album. It was made in a bathroom, because China said that's the place where he likes to compose his songs, because of the acoustic and the intimacy of the place. This song talks about being imortal in a song that could never die in the air, so, we had to recorded it in order to keep it surviving.
SIDE B - ANTI-HERÓI

"Anti-herói" (China) is our sweet side B. It is a sweet and personal lullaby that he talks a little about him and he dedicated it to his children, Matheus and Tom. He doesn't intend to record it, so this is a unique moment for him and for us, too, in a empty stage of Studio SP, between some instruments and a wide view of the night lights of São Paulo.

u go, boys.
. I have always been curious about functionality in websites and, well, the world in general. I read this article with great interest. It does seem to me that the reason we comment is to speak our minds so why not have the comment field first? However, as others have pointed out, one gets used to the conventions regardless of reason.
