Music Typewriter by Moreno Veloso

Moreno, Kassin and Domenico were childhood
friends from school. They formed a band and
made three albums, each one under a different
one’s name. Their records are different and
very influential in Brazil.
Morneo is the son of legendary Brazilian
musician Caetano Veloso. You can
hear him at age 8 on the first
Luaka Bop release (“Beleza
Tropical”) singing the words
“Ilê Ayê” on Caetano’s
song of the
same name.
Moreno’s record is to some extent the most
conventional of the three, even though
Domenico, the drummer, plays drums on a
sampler and cymbal sounds using sand paper.
The next release, Domenico’s, had the greatest
success in the indie world, while Kassin’s
album is the most produced (which
makes sense as he has become
one of the most successful
producers in Brazil).
