Brasileira is the debut album of Gabriela Pimentel. A musical work that has been in her wish box for a long time.
Her music is often autobiographical in the stories and rhythms: samba, baião, capoeira. Gabriela is the first daughter of Júlio and Rose, the parents of Kriya Família, the largest Brazilian family that emigrated to the Netherlands more than two decades ago to bring Brazilian music and culture.
"For quite some time I wanted to record my music to share with everyone. And singing that at Munganga was also part of my dream. Playing in the most artistic and cozy theater house of the beautiful Amsterdam! Great joy with this magical place! There I will stand for the first time with all the boys who accompanied me during the recordings. In the harmony my dear brother-in-law Marijn van der Linden, on strings, all chords and arrangements. My brothers Pedro and Júlio Pimentel on percussion, in the heart of rhythm with their drums, pandeiro, berimbau, zabumba, agogô and chocalhos."
With Brasileira Gabriela wants to make clear where she comes from, her origin. Because that is not immediately noticeable from her appearance. Red hair, light, rosy skin with freckles.
On this afternoon the album will be presented first and then they will play various music from different Brazilian artists who inspired "Gabi" from her childhood until now.
