Success in the first season to be back in the second season of Oxe, it’s Jazz. On the 17th and 18th of September, starting at 6 pm, Parque Costa Azul will host another edition of the project that has musician Eric Assmar as curator.
In this edition, the program includes Joatan Nascimento & the band Base Jazz na Avenida, Banda Terraquea, Candice Fiais &banda and Gustavo Andrade and Jefferson Gonçalves who invited the curator.
Conceived by Mais Ações Integradas with the support of the State Government, Oxe, é Jazz has already passed through different squares, such as Itacaré, Lauro de Freitas, Lençóis and Salvador. The itinerant musical project aims to spread the rhythm throughout Bahia.
The “Oxe, é Jazz” is still free, open to the public and will take place on a weekend in September, October and November. Originating from several African-American rhythms and melodies, jazz has as its main characteristic the free interpretation of its musicians, who follow in harmony in the structuring of the melodies, but with absolute power of improvisation.

The Sundays of 26/01,16/02,15/03 in the summer of 2020, the North American guitarist and singer Lon Bové and his musical group, Banda Terráquea, will bring their Rhythm and Blues menu to Varanda do SESI – Rio Vermelho.

The tickets will be sold at the entrance of the SESI theater, costing R$30 in cash. Those who donate a used t-shirt at the door may trade it for a shopping bag! In 2017, the Banda Terráquea launched its project “Green Planet Attitude” with schools in Salvador, sharing a perspective of environmental consciousness provoked by the somewhat simple action of collecting used t-shirts and transforming them into eco bags to reduce the usage of plastic bags.
BANDA TERRÁQUEA IN THE 4TH EDITION OF CACHOEIRA’S BLUES FESTIVAL
One of the most prestigious musical events in Bahia this month is Cachoeira’s Agosto do Blues, it’s taking place on the 24th and 25th at this historical city in the Recôncavo Baiano, considered a birthplace of black culture in Brazil.
Atractions such as Banda Jokermen, Restgate Blues, Chocolate com Blues, Celso Dutra Blues Band, and the North American Lon Bové featuring Banda Terráquea, will perform both days at Praça da Aclamação, in the historical town center, playing the rhythm considered the most pure and true expression of black music that conquered the world.
Lon, Banda Terráquea’s founder, has 9 Grammy nominations, and will play alongside his son, Gabriel Bové, who lets loose his voice in toring blues that promise to echo through Cachoeira’s historical streets, bringing the memory of our ancestor’s cries. Terráquea’s show opens up the second night of the festival. The first night will count will the Jokermen’s highlights, with their fantastic cover of the memorable Bob Dylan.
According to Marcos Moura, who idealized the event, the Festival’s intention is to rescue the memory of the Blues in Cachoeira with the intent of promoting and preserving its rich legacy, the tradition and the future of his great artform and language that inspired the birth of other genres, such as Rock n’ Roll, Jazz, Funk, Soul, while also establishing a parallel between Cachoeira and the Mississippi state, home of the Blues, through the appreciation of the rivers that cross them both, Paraguaçu and Mississippi, valuing the black culture that originated these sounds.
The participating blues bands are formed by experienced and talented musicians, who dedicate themselves daily to the cause of good music, in a city so rich in cultural plurality. The production is from Rock and Blues, counting with the support of BahiaTursa, IRDEB, Tabuleiro Produções and Cachoeira’s Town Hall through the Secretary of Culture and Tourism.

SAULO FERNANDES SINGS WITH BANDA TERRÁQUEA - LIVE FROM TEATRO DA CIDADE
Lon Bové and the Banda Terráquea will perform on August 29th, at 8PM, the R & B concert “Água Vida Pura Vida”, in Teatro da Cidade, Avenida Paralela, Salvador. The show will feature the singer Saulo Fernandes, the Olodum Juvenil and the choral Atitude Ver de Perto, composed by students of Pinto de Aguiar State School – together, they will sing the event’s anthem, the song “Água Vida Minha Vida”, that talks about the importance of taking care of our planet and our waters.
Idealized by Banda Terráquea, along the group leader, the singer, songwriter, guitarist and master in education Lon Bové, 9 times Grammy nominated for his album “M.O.T.H”, this project is composed by two actions:
First, the formation of a choir group to sing the project’s anthem “Água Vida, Minha Vida”, with the objective of summoning Brazil’s students to the song that discusses the importance of caring for our waters.
The second step consists of the analysis, by the students, of the impact the usage of plastic bags has on our planet, our oceans and sanitary landfills, integrating the multidisciplinary matter in maths, geography, arts and sciences.
In this proposal, the Banda Terráquea will organize the retrieval of used t-shirts in school and, with the help of seamstresses, transform them into ecobags – reaching the goal of 5.000 pieces.
The main intention is to point out how the students are vectors of change, bringing the topic to their families and communities. On the concert date, those who bring to the theater their used t-shirts will get, in return, an eco bag at the door.
Led (lead?) by the North American Lon Bové, receiver of 9 Grammy nominations for his album “M.O.T.H ‘’”, the Banda Terráquea mixes classic Rhythm & Blues with Brazilian musicality. The group’s name alludes to the fact that we’re all siblings, sharing the same home: Earth. The band’s musicians are the percussionist Ivanzinho Pacapuco, the harmonica player Luiz Rocha, the bass player Vitor Magalhães, the vocalists Cacá Magalhães and Gabriel Bové, the drummer Jair Rocha, including João Teoria and the group Skanibais for the Terráquea Horns.
