Sabina Sciubba is one sexy lady. she prances and slithers onstage, ramping up the group's already volatile mix of pop, bossa nova, punk, jazz and electronica. This is part of the Brazilian Girls.
November 24, 2006 (Press Release) --
As the sizzling frontwoman for the cool New York group Brazilian Girls, she prances and slithers onstage, ramping up the group's already volatile mix of pop, bossa nova, punk, jazz and electronica. To top it off, she speaks five languages, sings in them all (sometimes in the same song), dresses in a variety of sexy, sometimes crazy, outfits and always, always wears an eyemask onstage.
But the quartet does not hide behind Sciubba's subtle and exciting stage theatrics. The Brazilian Girls (no one's from Brazil and there's only one girl) are the real thing, producing an original, potent sound that has grown from a sensual self-titled release, one of the most compelling discs of 2005, to the more recent and sharper edged "Talk to La Bomb."
Sciubba croons, sighs and moans her way through songs, backed by Argentinian keyboardist Didi Gutman, bassist Jesse Murphy and drummer Aaron Johnston. All are seasoned musicians who bring an array of influences and interests to the mix, resulting in a sound hard to categorize.
Gutman used to play with Bebel Gilberto; Murphy and Johnston have worked with John Zorn. They hooked up with Sciubba at the hip New York club Nublu. The intimate venue, with its Euro-chic vibe, served as a petri dish where a bouncy pop sound that feeds off reggae, bossa nova, jazz and electronica, grew out of Sunday night jam sessions. They refer to their music as "melting pop."
