Adelson Viana "Acordeom Brasileiro" (2005)

Adelson Viana

Adelson Viana, 39 anos, natural de Fortaleza, é acordeonista, tecladista, compositor, arranjador e produtor musical. Vindo de uma família de músicos, teve como primeiro instrumento o acordeom, e como mestre o seu pai José Viana. Passou um longo período tocando em bailes e, posteriormente, começou a trabalhar em estúdios de gravação, shows, jingles e trilhas sonoras.
Como instrumentista, o músico atuou por um longo tempo de sua carreira ao lado do renomado cearense RAIMUNDO FAGNER (12 anos), se apresentando também em shows de Zeca Baleiro, Dominguinhos, Ednardo, Lenine, Naná Vasconcelos, Paulo Moura, Fausto Nilo, Nonato Luiz, Waldonys, Manassés, dentre outros artistas.
Em 2004 esteve na França (Brest 2004), onde participou de shows no Espaço Brasil, levando a música brasileira a um grande público presente. Em 2008, participou do VI PRÊMIO TIM DE MÚSICA homenageando o mestre DOMINGUINHOS onde tocou ao lado dos maiores sanfoneiros do Brasil.
Em 2009 lançou pela BISCOITO FINO o álbum “ACORDEOM BRASILEIRO”, no Rio de Janeiro, com shows na Modern Sound e Rio Scenarium, mostrando através da sanfona um rico repertório com composições de Jacob do Bandolim, Dominguinhos, Astor Piazzolla, Richard Galliano, João Lyra e Adelson Viana.
O álbum “Da Cidade ao Sertão”, cantado tem um rico repertório de música nordestina, traz pela primeira vez a voz do sanfoneiro Adelson Viana, já reconhecido no palco pela maestria e promete mexer com os forrozeiros. O time de parcerias no CD também não poderia economizar em qualidade. De Xico Bezerra, na canção “Riso de Canto a Canto”, a Maciel Melo, em “Daquele Jeito”, passando pelo próprio Dominguinhos em “Querer” (participação especial) e “A Saudade Mata”, composições de Ednardo, Felipe Cordeiro, o primo Paulo Viana e o pai José Viana.
O mais recente álbum é o CD “Dobrado” um duo com o extraordinário violonista Nonato Luiz, um encontro de talentos em um trabalho inédito e autoral, unindo o som das cordas do violão aos acordes da sanfona, em caminhos harmônicos e melódicos que vão do erudito ao popular.
O show de ADELSON VIANA tem um caráter acústico e passeia pela sonoridade brasileira através do forró, xote, choro, baião e até mesmo do frevo, favorecendo a riqueza de timbres e de possibilidades da sanfona nordestina universal.

Ace Frehley "

Ace Frehley

Along with Eddie Van Halen, Kiss' Ace Frehley inspired numerous up-and-coming rockers to pick up the guitar in the 1970s -- and come the '90s, was listed by just about every contemporary rock guitarist (Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, Pearl Jam's Mike McCready, Pantera's Dimebag Darrell, etc.) as an important influence. Born Paul Frehley on April 27, 1951, in the Bronx, NY, Frehley began playing guitar when he received an electric six-string for his 14th birthday in 1965. Already a big fan of the Rolling Stones, Frehley was blown away when he caught a multi-band live show in N.Y.C. in early 1967, featuring both the Who and Cream among others, which solidified his desire to pursue rock guitar more seriously (and put a promising art career on the back burner). Frehley began playing in local bands soon after, adding both Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix to his influences -- and around this time, adopted the nickname "Ace." Although none of the bands he played with had taken off, he answered an ad in a local paper for a new hard rock, theatrically based group in early 1973.
A few weeks after his initial tryout, Frehley was hired as the lead guitarist for the new quartet, joining bassist/singer Gene Simmons, rhythm guitarist/singer Paul Stanley, and drummer Peter Criss to form the band Kiss. By year's end, the greasepaint- and costume-wearing band was signed to Casablanca Records, and by 1978, had become one of the world's top hard rock bands. A string of platinum albums and sold-out tours lasted from 1975-1979, until the trappings of fame threatened to break up the band. Frehley's best friend in the band, Criss, left Kiss in 1980, as the group unsuccessfully experimented with non-metal styles. Ace Frehley's use of alcohol and drugs increased due to his ever-increasing unhappiness in the band, and, by 1982, he'd exited Kiss.
Within a year or two after his split from Kiss, Ace began putting his own solo band together, Frehley's Comet. The band played local N.Y.C. clubs, but failed to issue a record until 1987's self-titled debut for Megaforce Records. Instead of following the heavy metal direction of his exceptional 1978 solo album, Frehley's Comet tried to keep pace with the current pop-metal movement (Mötley Crüe, etc.), issuing two other albums (and a live EP) by 1989. Around this time, Frehley put his old art talents to use once again through computer graphics, with a few of his images even being featured in an art exhibit. Despite mud slinging in the press between Simmons/Stanley and Frehley in the early '90s, all four original Kiss members made up in time to reunite for a 1995 taping of MTV Unplugged. The taping was such a success that it led to a full-blown reunion of the original lineup, resulting in the massively successful 1996-1997 Alive Worldwide Tour.
Frehley continued as a member of Kiss until the end of their Farewell Tour (lasting longer than fellow original member Peter Criss, who dropped out in 2001). Live appearances, including gigs at the massive Rocklahoma festival, kept Ace busy until 2009 when he released the album Anomaly on his own label, Bronx Born Records.
