BaianaSystem's music sounds like nothing you have ever heard before!

It is incredibly original as it will charm rock AND reggae enthusiasts with sharp guitar flights and a deep pulse all along the record. Of course, it will also win over those who love percussions played with bare hands.

This is the music which must be heard !

BaianaSystem is experiencing a new sound system with the interaction of the Baianan guitar and rhythmic basses.This original instrument's history is closely linked to the Bahia's Salvador Carnaval. During the 1940s the Baianan guitar came to steal the show to the percussions with its famous "Trios electricos". BaianaSystem's new album, soon to be released in Europe has been widely accepted by the general public and the media all around the world, particularly during the Womex Showcase festival held in Copenhagen last October 2011.
The Brazilian creative DJ Chico Correa gives a new face to the Baianan scene while the singer takes you on a ride in his city with his lyrics and puts into music the color and rhythm of everyday life. This is a revolutionary band to be heard right now!
