AN AUTHENTIC BRAZILIAN VINTAGE REVIVAL

 

Baila Nova’s Brazilian staples are unmistakable: they are an authentic, warm and stylish messenger from Brazil, but with a voice of their own. They are a worldly quartet themselves, with roots in Spain, Denmark and the USA.

 

75 + MILLION FANS CAN’T BE WRONG

 

The quartet's YouTube channel proves that they are the real deal. 75+ million views and 200,000 followers are statistics most established bands can only dream of. Baila Nova consists of Laura Vall on vocals, David Irelan on guitar, Thomas Hjorth on bass and Mike Papagni on drums.

 

HISTORY OF BAILA NOVA (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS NOVA)

 

After their first European tour in the summer of 2023, Baila Nova came into existence. The band, until then known as NOVA, decided it needed a new name to reflect the new direction the music was taking, adding more lively and dancey Latin grooves to the mellow classic Bossa Nova.

 

NOVA’s inception was in the spring of 2014, when its first self-titled full-length album was released in response to worldwide demand from their dedicated fans. Their second album, Live from Seahorse Sound, was a full-length album with five live performance videos released in December, 2017. For their 10th year anniversary, NOVA released a double compilation album, The NOVA Collection Vol. 1 & Vol. 2,  containing 20 favorite Brazilian classics recorded over the years and remixed and remastered for the occasion. It is a fan favorite and current bestseller.

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, NOVA kept active online, releasing one new live performance video every two weeks on their YouTube channel called Quarantine Series. The first 10 song installment, Volume 1, was released on Dec 1, 2020 and Volume 2  followed on August 10, 2021. During this time, NOVA also released a holiday album, A Bossa Nova Christmas on Nov 13, 2020, with renditions of 11 of their favorite Christmas classics reinterpreted as Bossa Nova, Samba, Mambo, and Jazz.

 

Always looking for new challenges, the band released NOVA - Pop, a Brazilian and Latin Music interpretation of some of NOVA's favorite pop songs by artists such as Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, The Cure, Radiohead, Tame Impala, Sting, among others.  On November 18, 2022 NOVA released their latest album, Coração Vagabundo, a compilation of classic Brazilian songs by some of the greatest Brazilian artists of all time, including Jorge Ben Jor, João Gilberto, Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, and Guinga, and also including a featured performance of Roberto Menescal playing with NOVA on his song, Vocé.

 

Now under Baila Nova, the band is preparing a new original album while touring around the world.

QUOTES

 

“I like this interpretation of my song, O Barquinho, very, very much! One of its best recordings - the whole band is superb!!!”

~ Roberto Menescal

 

 

“From the smoothness and swing of Laura Vall's singing to the performances of the three musicians, everything happens without pyrotechnics and without the intention of imitating Brazilian artists. They delight in playing and this sensation is stamped in the available videos.”

~ Célio Albuquerque, Journalist, Instituto Memória Musical Brasileira
