VOLUME 27 - DO AMOR

We can say that one of the most important fact that made four boys get together to form a band is their musical affinity: walk at the same beach, like the same records, enjoy the same sound. That quite exists between "Do amor" bandmates. But what makes the band of Gabriel Bubu (guitar), Gustavo Benjão (guitar), Marcelo Callado (drums) e Ricardo Dias Gomes (bass) walks is exactly the opposite of this "commom taste". What makes this partnership works - in which there's no leader and everybody divides equally the tasks of composition, playing and singing - are the differences. From heavy metal to "axé" music, each one goes through with more intimacy in some aesthetics.

Everybody, individually, works as musicians with other artists (besides being together as background band for Nina Becker): Marcelo and Ricardo integrates "Cê", the record and show of Caetano Veloso, Bubu used to play with Los Hermanos, Benjão plays the guitar with Totonho e os Cabras, Domenico + 2, Nervoso and with much more other people. In 2007, they released their first EP.

For the side A "Dar uma banda" (Gabriel Bubu/ Gustavo Benjão), the band squeeze together into a tube in a São Paulo's park.

On the side B, they were helped by some children that were playing at that park, they gave a lot of energy to this song, running around the band. Starting as some type of hide and seek, "Do amor" played "Shop Chop" (Ricardo Dias Gomes).
