JOSEH GARCIA: BICHO DO MATO

Joseh garcia bicho do mato 5. 27. 12

Afraid of people and tired of empty social interactions he runs into the jungle. He carries with him an acoustic guitar and a computer. He longs to find comfort in the sounds of the forest. He feels like a Bicho do Mato. He is hurt. He is looking for healing and self-acceptance.
* Bicho do Mato: Portuguese expression used to describe an extremely shy person.

In Bicho do Mato, the singer/songwriter Joseh Garcia takes us on a journey in which electronic and acoustic sounds meet popular music and afro-indigenous spiritual songs from Brazil. Introspection, wild life, and magic deities of Amazonian life are the themes of the show. Joseh sings, plays acoustic guitar, creates electronic sounds, and wonderful guest musicians collaborate with their talents. This is his last performance in the Bay Area for 2012. Next stop is Canada, and then Joseh is ready to take this new show to other corners of the world. In 2010 he released his first Ep Bossa a Trois, recorded in France and produced by Daniel Masson. In the Bay Area he has performed in respected venues and has created innovative projects: last Feb. he did an unusual and successful concert for dogs.

“Joseh Garcia’s serene voice and heartbreaking stage presence embody the new wave of Bossa Nova. He composes his own songs and sings them intimately into your ears while you melt. Watch him! Listen to Him! He may well shake the boundaries of Brazilian music and cool Jazz in decades to come.” – Silvia Nakkach, award-winning composer, voice-culturist, music educator.
