VOLUME 06 - ÉRIKA MACHADO

Érika Machado is a singer/composer from Belo Horizonte, MG. The essencial thing to be said here is that we didn’t know much about Érika and we’ve never talked to her before, but, in less than 24 hours, between a telephone call from SP to BH, trying to explain about the project, and our meeting in a restaurant in BH, a great relashionship between her music and pocket music was sealed.

She was interested in the project, so, simply, she accepted it. Until now, it is a record in pocket music, less than 24 hours between the invitation and the day of shooting. Her participation here was a happy meeting that, although promoted by Pato Fu, it was meant to be. She came shy and quiet to us with her guitar on her back. Her delicate and captivating personality is responsible for the mood in her songs that sounds like a irresistible ordinary life cronics.

SIDE A - SECADOR, MAÇÃ E LENTE

“Secador, maçã e lente” (Érika Machado/ Juliana Mafra), the side A, was made in a carnival, inside a green swimmer duck. It’s a track from her first CD “No cimento” (2006) produced by John Ulhoa. It talks about a boy that is happy living a life that's far from complete.



SIDE B - ROBERTINHA

As a side B, she gave us the incredibly catchy “Robertinha” (Érika Machado). It talks about a girl called Robertinha that want to buy the world and it’s never satisfied. Warning: We, from pocket music, are 3 months singing this tune. So, you must be careful, it may seem just 1 minute short and harmeless, but it’s addictive!
