FERRO
NEW WAVE / INDIE POP / BREGA
SUNDAY, MARCH 22
Festsaal Kreuzberg - Am Flutgraben 2
Romero Ferro represents the new generation of one of the most important popular genres of music from Pernambuco, known as “Brega” that pictures the daily life in a fairly honest and objective way and resists to the prejudice of a music coming from the suburbs.
His second and brand new album “FERRO” - released in August 2019 - proposes the perfect blend of Brega with New Wave and Indie Pop.
The videoclip of the song "Corpo em Brasa" features one of the key female artists of the moment, Duda Beat.
The artist competed to the BRAZILIAN MUSIC PRIZE with his first album "arsenic" (2016). In 2018 released two clips/singles from his next album: "Pra Te Conquistar" e "Acabar A Brincadeira". The first hit more than 500 thousand plays in 40 days, integrated 4 official playlists and ranked among the 50 most viral in the country by Spotify Brazil, in addition to winning the SP 2018 SIM prize as "gum hit". In 2019, released another single/clip "Corpo Em Brasa" featuring Duda Beat, a preview of what would come in his second disc named "FERRO".
"FERRO" is the second album of the artist Romero Ferro, and dives into the connection between elements of the New Wave, Indie Pop and Brega, three very rich aesthetic universes that have in their verve the striking tunes of the Synths, the androginia in the vocals, in addition to the pain, nostalgic and restart of the narratives of the Latin novels, so present in the themes of the Bolero, the Caribbean rhythm that guides these musical styles. From Beatles to Kraftwerk, past Queen, Reginaldo Rossi and Marina Lima, a solid mesh of references is created to sustain a sonority Pop-Brega, exciting, tropical and contemporary.
FERRO was the attraction of several TV programs, among them the “Sem Censura" and the “Encontro com Fátima Bernardes". Participated in special articles for VEJA Magazine (by Sergio Martins), Leda Nagle (on YouTube), and the newspaper project O Globo “Toca No Telhado”, and has been raising excellent reviews from journalists like Zeca Camargo/RJ, Mauro Ferreira/RJ and Hagmenon Brito/BA. The artist also participated in important festivals like the MOLOTOV/PE cocktail), Mada/RN, and RecBeat/PE.
