SKANK Show in New York
SKANK Show in New York
NYBrazil's Josimar Moreira, Nicholas Lucciane's Conquest Marketing and AEG Live's Rebeca Leon, VP of Latin Talent, announce show with Brazilian band SKANK in New York. The Skank started out in 1991, in Belo Horizonte, the same Brazilian city that gave the world names like Milton Nascimento and Sepultura. Between the harmony of some and the energy of others, the band started out driven by their idea to bring the Jamaican dancehall to the Brazilian pop tradition. The band launched its first album independently – but the underground success caught the attention of the all powerful Sony Music that, together with the band, launched in Brazil the label Chaos. Their second album, of 1994, was a giant step to stardom: over 1 million copies of "Calango" and top-hits like "Jackie Tequila" and "Te Ver". The album opened the doors to a whole new generation of Brazilian bands, willing to digest whatever is new in the world rock scene and, at the same time, curious about the roots of local traditions. The following album went a step further (both regarding its mission to promote fusion and commercially): "O Samba Poconé" took the band to France, United States, Chile, Argentina, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Germany presenting own concerts and participating in festivals sharing the stage with Echo & The Bunnymen, Black Sabbath and Rage Against The Machine. The single "Garota Nacional" was a stunning success in Brazil and ranked first in the hit parade in Spain (in its original version, in Portuguese) for three months straight – this was the only Brazilian song to feature in selection "Soundtrack for a Century", launched to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Sony Music. The band’s albums won American, Italian, Japanese and French editions among other countries around the world. The band will be performing in New York, on Friday, June 26th, at 8 pm, at the NOKIA Theater Times Square, 1515 Broadway, West 44th Street, Manhattan.
