about

Released during the Anti-RNC festival, Ripple Effect, the Quero a Paz (Single) serves as a teaser for the upcoming debut album, The Common Past, from Quilombolas. Called ‘the auditory equivalent of a really tasty fusion restaurant’, the multilingual band melds Afro-Brazilian, Rock, World Beat, Afro-Funk and Hip Hop sounds.

Members of the group share a diasporic background that includes Brazilian, African American and Israeli ancestry. Shelia Regan, of the Twin Cities Daily Planet, writes, “True to the spirit of their name, the Minneapolis band Quilombolas have a sense of defiance, and also a sense of freedom. The band's style is passionate, satirical, and very entertaining. Blending Brazilian rhythms, hip-hop, Israeli melodies, and funk, Quilombolas create a unique sound with smart lyrics and a danceable beat.” Lead singer, Eric Silva Berimba comments, “Quilombolas' music is about blending, mixture, and harmony. It is music that doesn't conveniently fit into one particular genre, but fuses many styles. A musical feijoada or jambalaya.” Tru Ruts label exec, e.g. bailey, adds “With it's melding of varied traditions and cultures, the essence of Quilombolas and it's music is the striving for a more humane world.”

'Quero a Paz' is released by indie label, Tru Ruts/Speakeasy Records. See www.truruts.com for more information. To request interviews or additional images, please contact info@truruts.com or 612-288-9491.
