BAND RELEASE Randomly, four young guys from Porto Alegre, a city in the south of Brasil, met in Barcelona. By chance or not, Ricardo Fischmann, Eduardo Dechtiar, Ramiro Levy and Daniel Plentz shared the home town, the passion for music, some influences and the need to survive away from home. Gathering this bunch of things in common, plus some other diversions and putting them side by side and squeezed on one of the benches of the Park Guell, we have the beginning of a very peculiar story. Its name is Selton. It was precisely in September of 2005 that Selton was formed. The band began playing Beatles covers for the tourists that walked on Gaudí’s park. Their intention, at first, was to get some coins and, specially, have fun. With only a month playing together, those coins turned into their first demo CD, which began to be sold at the presentations in the park. After a year in this rhythm, the band reached the mark of a thousand copies sold. Few time later an opportunity started changed Selton’s horizons. During an usual open air session, a producer of the Italian MTV’s program Italo-Spagnolo, was interested in the band. Selton participated twice in the show and it was during these presentations that they met the producers of Istituto Barlumen, a producing company from Milan. After this meeting, Barlumen encouraged Selton to write their own songs, with the possibility of establishing a partnership. Selton left the benches of the Park Guell and gave wings to creativity. Those were intense days, of a spontaneous and stimulating time in their apartment at the catalan capitol, when they finally started to give form to a still fragmented musical personality, through home recordings. It was a time for self-invention, inspired mainly by the Brazilian psychedelic music from the 60’s and the undeniable baggage from Liverpool. In the end of September 2006 Selton went to Milan. Uniting their own material with a contact with the Italian culture they started a project called “Banana à Milanesa”: versions of Italian songs from the 60’s rearranged and sung in Portuguese. This project soon turned into a CD, released all over Italy in the beginning of 2008. Selton started to promote it with some live concerts and participating several times in articles for major newspapers and magazines, as well as participating in radio and television national transmissions. Besides playing in festivals with groups such as the Pixies, Massive Attack and Jamiroquai, Selton also did the male choir for the American producer Arto Lindsay’s project “The Noise Mass”. This summer Selton will be on the road, touring throughout Italy. Besides that, the pre-production of their next album has been already started. This time the idea is to have an album made of their own songs, combinig home recordings with studio material. By the beginning of 2009 it should be ready to be released. Born from the direct contact with the public, Selton finds its best reward on every smile of the people who listens to them. Perhaps because of this sincere attitude and the simple devotion to music, Selton has been taken to quite unusual places.

Music:Member Since: 3/24/2007Band Members: Ricardo Fischmann, Daniel Plentz, Eduardo Dechtiar, Ramiro Levy Influences: Sounds Like: SELTON'S BANANA A MILANESA ITALIAN RELEASE “Banana à milanesa” è il disco d’esordio della band brasiliana Selton. Pensato e registrato a Milano negli studi dell’Istituto Barlumen, è un ponte diretto tra la capitale lombarda e il Brasile: si tratta, infatti, di una raccolta di cover di Enzo Jannacci e Cochi e Renato più due originali (“Banana à milanesa” e “La cosa rosa”). Enzo Jannacci è presente in due brani (“Pedro pedreiro” e “Silvano”), così come Cochi e Renato (“Malpensa” e “La canzone intelligente”). L’incontro tra i quattro giovanissimi brasiliani e i tre “vecchi” milanesi ha prodotto questo omaggio alla tradizione surreale degli anni ’60 e ’70 con classici come “Ho visto un re”, “E la vita l’è bela”, “Giovanni telegrafista”, “La gallina” e “Vengo anch’io” risuonati in chiave rock e tradotti in portoghese. Nel disco non sono stati usati strumenti digitali. Le uniche tracce originali sono “Banana à milanesa” e “La cosa rosa”. La storia dei Selton comincia al Parc Guell di Barcellona, dove i quattro amici si esibiscono per i turisti cantando e suonando le canzoni dei Beatles. Vengono notati dall’Istituto Barlumen, in Spagna per il programma TV di Fabio Volo “Italo (Spagnolo)” e subito invitati come ospiti. In seguito si trasferiscono a Milano per lavorare con l’Istituto Barlumen al progetto “Banana à milanesa”. La band sceglie un gruppo di canzoni e comincia a lavorare alla traduzione dei testi, riuscendo nell’impresa di trasferire la vena surreale di Jannacci in lingua portoghese.
