ANA KARINA SEBASTIÃO

How not to know Ana Karina?

A powerful goddess in the bass, grooves and improvisations, owner of a wonderful timbre and an absurd creativity that drives fans crazy.

A sensational, cheerful woman, with a great vibe, she has stood out both in Brazil and abroad. He is currently a member of the band “Conversa com Bial” on Rede Globo.

LANA FERREIRA

Paulistana, this phenomenon is appearing with full force, this bassist has agitated the music scene in general, her performance, talent, creativity, sensitivity and precision attract attention.

She participated in several projects and works, but she gained strength and prominence when she was invited to participate in the incredible project of master Celso Pixinga, Master Groove. Since then it has only grown and certainly the invitations and projects do not stop.

MAYARA PARAISO

I think we can say that Mayara is a collision between two worlds, the Acoustic world and the electric world, owner of an absurd talent in both lines, she has stood out a lot with the electric and acoustic bass.

Creative, very musical, improvises very well, with rich and very melodic phrases, we could stay here saying several compliments for hours, plus anyone who has the opportunity to follow their projects watch.

She is part of the women’s team reference on the bass, we strongly recommend to our readers to search more about her.

We learned about Fernanda through an interview in the painting Fala Baixista by the great Alexandre Panta, and we started to research more about this talent, and we found out that she was simply sensational, we were impressed with her musicality, sensitivity, creativity and much more.

We can notice that she mastered the Acoustic Contrabass masterfully, generating a unique and very pleasant sound, we also note that in the electric she does not leave behind, her lines are well defined and safe in the Mojovox Band.

Another one of the references that appeared, we indicate it for sure.

 

AMANDA RUZZA

Impressive, we can start like this, it is impressive how we did not know this precious bass player, owner of enormous musical versatility, has in her soul a range of musical possibilities.

Very creative, eclectic, technical and very knowledgeable of varied rhythms due to her studies and experience, we can say that she is sensational, we were very happy to be able to know a little about her.

In addition to being part of the national bassists ‘team, she has a consolidated international career, playing on major projects by outstanding artists and musicians such as Adam Holzman, Alex Han, Alexandre Carvalho, Allison Miller, Amy Lee, Andy Milne, Arturo O’ Farrill, Barry Beckett, Ben Stivers, Bill Ware, Chris Theberge, Christian Sands, Chuck Palmer, Cliff Korman, Craig Harris, Cuca Teixeira and more.

A master, a JEDI, Gê Cortes is simply phenomenal, I have no words to express, talented at the highest level, creative, technical, and much more.

The first time I saw her play was on the Globo TV Program Altas Horas, she was part of the program band, I remember that I was perplexed by her musicality, she exudes music, it was a huge shock of happiness with euphoria.
