In what has become one of the longest summer holidays I had in years due to the COVID pandemic back in my homeland Southern Brazil I had the absolute pleasure to work with an incredibly talented artist Felipe Camara in the video of his gospel and soul infused tune Pardon Me. And also been blessed to reunite with my long time friend from my soul band days, the singer Andréa Cavalheiro! Check his work out in his Instagram page @eufelipecamara
Nesse longo verão brasileiro tive o provilégio de trabalhar com este talentosíssimo jovem artista brasileiro Felipe Câmara no video do seu mais recente lançamento, a canção fortemente influenciada por soul e gospel music Pardon Me. E de quebra ainda ganho o presente de trabalhar com minha amiga de longa data desde os tempos da minha primeira banda de soul The Hard Working Band, a cantora Andréa Cavalheiro!

Aaaand we did it again! For our series of Bisa’s CoLab Sessions now we do a cover of the ‘74 Chaka Khan / Stevie Wonder classic “Tell Me Something Good” with the talented Elize Kellman on lead vocals, Benedict Green on bass, BVs and coolest collection of shirts ever, Sam Woods on guitar, Tim Nugent on drums and me, Edu Bisa Bisogno @edubisogno on my ‘71 Hohner Clavinet D6 through a Dunlop Wahwah Crybaby pedal and a Fender Blues Jr., and for the Talkbox I’m using my FM synthesis Yamaha DX100 synthesiser through a MXR talk box pedal captured by a Rode NT2-A condenser mic. Mixed by me and my brother Vinzenz Benjamin @vinzenzbenjamin, mastered by Loz Fat As Funk Mastering @fat_as_funk, video editing by yours truly. Gotta love this tune!
E lá vamos nós de novo! Dando continuidade a série Bisa’s CoLab Sessions desta vez regravamos esse clássico de 1974 da Chaka Khan, composto em parceria com Stevie Wonder. Nesse vídeo temos essa turma de músicos de Londres Elize Kellman nos vocais, Benedict Green no baixo, Tim Nugent na bateria, Sam Woods na guitarra e eu to tocando um Clavinet D7 com um pedal de Wah-wah Crybaby e ligado num amp Fender Blues Jr captado por um microfone Shure SM57, e pro Talkbox to usando um teclado dos anos 80 Yamaha DX100 plugado no pedal da MXR Talkbox e captado por um mic condenser Rode NT2-A.

Em novembro do ano passado recebi o convite desse talentoso dueto de folk rock Ferris & Sylvester para um projeto no mínimo, ambicioso: colocar 5 músicos que nunca haviam tocado juntos num dos mais lendários estúdios de gravação do Reino Unido, o Real World Studios do Peter Gabriel para gravar 5 músicas inéditas sem poder se juntar pra ensaiar antes devido as restrições da pandemia. Eu tive o privilégio de pilotar esse lindo órgão Hammond C3 plugado numa caixa Leslie 147 que eles tem lá, além do meu piano elétrico Wurlitzer 200A e o Nord Electro 6D pra tocar um Piano Bass a la Ray Manzarek. No pressure!!!! O resultado foi mágico!
