At a time when we believed that the return to the stage was near, precisely a year ago today, we took over the booking of NO MAKA.
We continue to believe that return is just around the corner and that this will be the year of recovery.
It's been two years of hard struggle, and we've always refused to bow our heads. Therefore, today we announce the solo project of our dear Emanuel Oliveira: BRADA
And what other name could it have, if not "BRADA"?!!
Brada is one of Emanuel Oliveira's alter egos who, in this way, presents himself as a soloist. Son of a Mozambican mother and an Angolan father (who is also a musician and played in one of the biggest African musical groups - ´Duo Ouro Negro`), he was always surrounded by Afro influences.
Together with Duarte Carvalho, he gave birth to ´No Maka`, a project that won several multi-platinum awards, namely (but not only) with the song "Faz Gostoso", re-recorded by Madonna and Anitta, which reached #1 on the Billboard! The great stages, such as the Altice Arena or the MEO Sudoeste, among others, also became familiar to him.
Brada brings an Afro and electronic sound, often defined by "Afro Tech" and "Afro House". In 2021, he released "Assume" and quickly caught the attention of the Afro House market. That same year, together with Duarte, they founded a new record label: Capote Records.
