The ReLOVEution

The story all began back in Dublin in 2008, when James(Vocals/guitar) met Brunno(Guitar), Bila(Vocals/Percussion) and Xande(Percussion). They were a part of a huge group of friends whose incredible friendship and positive energy became something of a surreal spiritual mission for the 4 of them. In a somewhat unspoken pact, the boys decided it was their purpose in life to spread their positive message around the world through music. Late 2008 came along, and brought about some bad news, the three Brazilian members all returned home to Brazil for different reasons.
But the dream never died, James was determined to travel to Brazil and continue the journey with them. In December 2009 he did just that, first meeting up with Brunno and then travelling to Bahia to meet Bila at Universo Paralelo Festival. They met some inspiring people from Brasilia at this festival and decided they would go there and spend some time living on the Aldeia da Terra, which belongs to Inuka. While there honing the bands sound and planning how they would continue with the mission, they became involved with a group of Indigenous Brazilians who were camping in front of the Brazilian Senate in protest against the corrupt government and their evil treatment of the original Brazilian people. There they met Ricardo(Trumpet) and he joined the band too. They travelled to the south of Brazil where they recruited Maria and picked up Xande and spent another few months in Brasilia, before heading to Bahia....
