What we from Progress 2 think is cool in Brazilian music !

Marcelo D2
Marcelo D2 started in 1995 in the “Planet Hemp” with his first CD “Eu tiro é onda”.
He was influnced by David Corcos, Carlos Bess, Mário Caldato,and João Donato, and the music he plays is called “Hip-Hop”, which is really wicked... Other CDs he has recorded are “A procura da patida perfeita (2003)”, “A invasão do sagaz homem fumaça (2000)”
Marcelo D2 in partnership with his friend Skunk were the leaders of “Planet Hemp”, but Skunk died and now D2 is pursuing a solo career.


From “micareta” to solo career , Ivete is ours!
At school Ivete Sangalo used her free time to play the guitar. She moved to Salvador at the age of 17 to work as a model, but she surrended to music, which had always been her passion.
She participated in “micaretas” in Morro do Chapeu, where she met Jorge Cunha, the producer who created the EVA carnival group. With the band there were many successes but in 1999 she started her solo career with her first solo CD “Ivete Sangalo”. Since then she has been taking part in shows and campaigns, and has also launched other Cds and DVDs. “As Super Novas” had the historical mark of 500.000 sold copies in advance.
In 2005 she was awarded with the Grammy Latino for the best record of Foreign Root. Nowadays ,Ivete has also become the star of TV commercials and governmental prevention campaigns.She is very charismatic.


“The Titãs” forever !
In the end of the 70´s, a musical event “A idade da pedra jovem ” showed new talents like Sérgio Brito, Arnaldo Antunes, Paulo Miklos, Marcelo Fromer, Nando Reis, Ciro Pessoa and Tony Bellotto, who formed the Titãs group. Their first official presentation was in October 15, 1982 in Sesc Pompéia. Later Branco Mello and André Jung joined the group and with nine members on stage they really drew the attention of people due to their creative lyrics.
They´ve been to international festivals and they were the first Brazilian band to perform in The Night of Rock, in Montreu , with great success. Currently some of their famous songs are “Cegos do castelo”, “Marvin” and “Epitáfios”.


INIMIGOS DA HP
They are eight friends who studied together at a college in São Paulo and used to meet to play and talk about current affairs. They went to a music school and started to play “pagode” in 1999.
The band was called “Inimigos da HP” because five of them are engineers, one is an advertising manager, one is a designer and one is a lawyer, and most of them worked with HP calculators. They recorded the first CD in 2001, and in 2004 they recorded their DVD and second Cd in “Tom Brasil” concert hall in Vila Olímpia.
They have re-recorded some old “axé’, “samba” and pop songs and they usually play in Brazilian discos. “Alemão”, “Sebá”, Bonilha, Bruninho, Gui , “Tocha”, Leo and “Cebola” are the friendly “Inimigos”.


O RAPPA
Born in 1994 , this band is formed by the vocal and guitarrist Falcão, Yuka, who plays the drums, Lobato in the keyboard, Lauro Farias playing the bass and “Xandão, who is the other guitarist.
Many other musicians have already been part of this band, whose best DVD, MTV Acoustic, was released in 2005. They have been playing the same type of music since 1994 and they have never had an argument.
