We are so excited for this funky soulful instrumental album debut of Guri Assis Brasil as Animal Invisível to release finally. The Vinyl will be along in late June / early July. Until then please give the album a listen on you favorite platform and read a bit more about it below.
Album Biography:
This debut album began to take shape during the pandemic, with a title inspired by the “invisible threat” that put the world on alert. The record evokes a time of uncertainty and introspection. However, the compositions transcend the pandemic context, taking the listener on a deep and expansive musical journey where rhythmic power and groove act as guides. Here, the threat is transmuted into strength.
To bring these tracks to life, Guri assembled an exceptional lineup of musicians, resulting in an album that feels like a powerful Jam Session, full of nuances. Guri’s guitar serves as the point of convergence for layers of sound where, at times, percussion, a pulsing bass line, a vibrant horn section, or psychedelic elements from keyboards and synths come to the forefront. Although instrumental, the album also features vocoder experiments on some tracks.
Artist Biography:
Guitarist Guri Assis Brasil was born on the border between Brazil and Uruguay, bringing to his music the rich cultural intersection of that region. He began his career in 2001, in Porto Alegre, as a member of the band Pública, with which he released four albums and was twice nominated for the MTV VMB Awards (2007 and 2009).
Since 2010, living in São Paulo, he has expanded his work as both a studio and live musician, collaborating with major names in Brazilian music such as Otto, Céu, Criolo, Luiz Melodia, and Angela Rô Rô. He also recorded guitars for acclaimed projects such as “Pele do Futuro” by Gal Costa, and “Orquestra Frevo do Mundo, Vol. 1”, featuring Caetano Veloso, Duda Beat, among others.
