Begeistert von der immensen Vielfalt brasilianischer Musikstile, nimmt Gosto Delicado mit auf eine sehr persönliche Entdeckungsreise durch Raum und Zeit. Mit Hingabe folgen die vier Musiker ihrer Intuition und Leidenschaft: von den gepflegten Tanzsalons des Choros zu den Hügeln der Favelas, wo die heisse Luft zum Samba vibriert, vorbei an Bossa Nova- trunkenen Nachtclubs von Ipanema und den großen Bühnen der MPB…
Delighted by the immense diversity in Brasilian music, Gosto Delicado invite you to a very personal discovery through time and space. These four devoted musicians follow the path of their passion: from chique Choro-Salons to the hills of the favela, where the hot air vibrates to Samba rhythms, passing by Bossa Nova- nightclubs of Ipanema and the big stages of MPB (Música Popular Brasileira).
It was in 2003 when the friends Pía Miranda (Chile) and Felix Hildenbrand (Germany) finally found the ‚missing link‘ to form a band: Olivier Lob (France) was the perfect match and shared their love for Brazilian music.
A debut album was recorded in Cologne and the first performances were held in the streets of scenic cities and villages in Southern France. Soon, they started conquering clubs and festivals in France, Germany and the Netherlands.
In 2007, Rémi Dombre (France) completed the quartet and in 2008, Gosto Delicado recorded their second CD in Montcabrier/France with guest appearances by Markus Stockhausen, Claudio Puntin and Fred San Pascual.
Within the years, the band reinforced the link with Pía’s hometown Cologne resulting in collaborations with legendary local heroes ‚De Höhner‘ and the Brazilian choir ‚Vozes do Brasil‘. When Cologne started a town twinning with Rio de Janeiro in 2012, Gosto Delicado started including traditional repertoire from Cologne played in a Brazilian fashion. These play a key role in the latest album ‚Alemanofônico‘, which was released on the Dutch label ‚Silvox‘ in january 2015 featuring new percussionist Matthias Haffner and many guest musicians including Morgana Moreno on flute, Henning Krautmacher and Klaus der Geiger.
