Gaby Amarantos

Gaby Amarantos is a singer and dancer from the city of Belém, in the northern state of Pará and comes from a family of Samba dancers. She's recorded a few CDs, a DVD, has been featured in newspapers and magazines and has made several appearances on Brazilian television shows. Her music sounds like a mashup of 90s Euro rave, moombahton, cumbia, and the kind of Hispanic electro-pop you hear in discos on holiday when you're out of your mind on budget cocktails. Like Gloria Estefan with techno knobs on – or rather, Glozzer in a clinch with Technotronic.

Vougan

Vougan was formed in july 2005 by the musicians Acácio Carvalho, G Zus and Hugo Santiago (ex-Dark Avengers), with the intent to make a type of music really free on the style of the compositions. Still without a keyboard player, Felipe K. (ex-Bad Wolf) was invited to join the project and adpted pretty well on the band´s profile, bringing his influences and combining it into the songs that was being composed. Even without vocalist, the composing process was being executed by the band. So they invited Carlos Zema(Heaven´s Guardian) to take part on the team and help them to consolide their work.
