Praia, Praia

Hailing from Shonan, Japan, the band Praia Praia adopts the genuine rhythm grooves of the Brazilian samba and bossa nova movements into their original Japanese compositions. Originally, Brazilian samba had a wide range of styles; not just gaudy, but light, subtle, and gentle. Praia
Praia's compositions take into account the original variety of the samba movement but combine that with their own Japanese roots. With the beach oriented sound of Praia Praia's music at your side, the oceans of Shonan are just a thought away...
