Mais Brasil Band

http://www.myspace.com/maisbrasil

Mais Brasil features Leonardo Mascarenhas who is a native Brazilian musician borne of all kinds of influences absorbed while growing up in Brazil, Africa and the U.S., and travels throughout Europe. From samba, blues, Brazilian Popular Music (MPB), funk, reggae, rock, forró and axé, Léo has created a unique style of music. Léo performs original songs as well as his own interpretation of famous songs from many different artists. Léo has played with a number of talented local artists, both as a percussionist and lead vocalist/guitarist. Music is his way of communicating with people.

Mais Brasil has the goal of furthering connections between different walks of life, including musicians, painters, photographers, dancers, and enthusiasts of all of the above.

Constantly creating rhythms, whether singing in the shower or beating on the car steering wheel, music flows in Léo’s blood. His songs range from ballads to upbeat dance pieces, drawn from everyday experiences, weaving in social commentary, and colored by a Brazilian outlook that makes the best of what’s available and enjoys it!

Léo has a radio show as Léo-Live on the 3rd Sunday of each month from 5:30-6:30pm, Amandala International Affairs on 90.7 FM CALX Berkeley Radio. The show interviews local artists and others from the international community, examines current political topics, and explores music just as diverse. Léo has his finger on the pulse of brazilian and international/world beat in the Bay Area, also booking and promoting bands and DJs in African beat, salsa, samba, reggae, bossa nova, MPB, funk, flamenco, tango, bolero, etc.
