Dend\u00ea & Band will be releasing their second album, Back to Bahia in March 2013 with performance dates on both the East and West Coasts in March 2013. Combining Brazil\u2019s rhythm heavy music with the grooves of afrobeat, reggae, merengue, and others from around the world Back to Bahia draws upon the energy in Bahia to reinfuse Dend\u00ea\u2019s music with that unmistakable Bahian sound. In January 2012, Dend\u00ea returned to Bahia to record and perform with his own band for the first time since partially relocating to New York in 2001. Taking advantage of being in Bahia for the recording, the album showcases the band\u2019s sizzling showmanship and versatility while including a host of friends who make special appearances such as Il\u00ea Aiy\u00ea, Melvin Gibbs, Graham Haynes, Vinicius Cantu\u00e1ria, Magary Lord, Luizinho do Gege (Daniela Mercury) and Gerson Silva & Mikael Mutti (Carlinhos Brown) among many others.<\/p>\n

Dend\u00ea is a percussionist, singer, composer, bandleader, teacher, and multi-instrumentalist. He\u2019s been a professional musician since the age of 14, when he appeared in the frontline of Timbalada, Carlinhos Brown\u2019s superstar percussion ensemble. Since 2001, he\u2019s been splitting his time between New York and Bahia, and has played with Mongo Santamaria, Giovanni Hidalgo, Zakir Hussain, David Byrne, Melvin Gibbs and Vinicius Cantu\u00e1ria. His own bands include the folkloric music and dance troupe Ologund\u00ea, the acoustic Samba de Tr\u00eas, and Arrast\u00e3o do Dend\u00ea, a traditional Afro bloco (samba party band), but it\u2019s as leader and principal songwriter of his flagship band that Dend\u00ea has made his greatest impact.<\/p>\n

The band has been packing clubs and festivals throughout the US and internationally over the past few years most notably at the Atrium at Lincoln Center, the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center, Roulette through the World Music Institute; the Lake Eden Arts Festival in North Carolina, the Kalalu Festival in Saint Lucia, Joe\u2019s Pub, World Caf\u00e9 Live and Johnny D\u2019s in Boston.<\/p>\n

Dend\u00ea (Den-DAY) was born and raised in Salvador, a city in Bahia, Brazil\u2019s most African state. \u201cI grew up in a poor neighborhood, surrounded by traditional music. When I was a kid I would play rhythms on the kitchen table and tell my mom I was going to be famous someday. I used to hold the drums for the older timbal players at the sambas de roda and after they\u2019d finished playing, they\u2019d let me play and show me the different rhythms.\u201d Dend\u00ea also soaked up the rhythms he heard at the candombl\u00e9 ceremonies he would go to in his neighborhood.<\/p>\n

At 14, Dend\u00ea auditioned for Timbalada, the two hundred-piece percussion troupe founded by superstar Carlinhos Brown. He started in the last line and worked his way up to the front. One day Brown noticed Dend\u00ea; he was impressed with his powerful technique and made him a featured performer in the Timbalada show band. Over his eight years in the band, Dend\u00ea toured internationally with Timbalada and recorded many of their albums. He was also given the opportunity to perform and record with some of the superstars in Brazilian music like Carlinhos Brown, Marisa Monte, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil among many others.<\/p>\n

When Timbalada trimmed down to a smaller unit, Dend\u00ea got cut, so he tried his hand at teaching. One of his students changed his life. \u201cThis guy from Rio named Flavio asked me to give him lessons,\u201d Dend\u00ea recalls. \u201cWe clicked and after five days of knowing me he asked me if I\u2019d think about moving to New York.\u201d A few months later, a ticket to New York came in the mail. \u201cFlavio played in the subway to make enough money to buy me that ticket. When I got to New York, I played in the subway with him and slept on his couch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Splitting his time between Bahia and New York has also infused his music with an unmistakable international flavor. Being exposed to musicians from all over the world has taught him rhythms that he never could of dreamed of in Brazil. “New York has given me opportunities that I would never have at home, but I\u2019m glad that I can always go Back to Bahia.”<\/span><\/div>\n
