About Pedro Eca e os Franco Atiradores

 
Portrait of Pedro Eca e os Franco Atiradores
Pedro Eça was born in Angola few months before the 25th April of 74 (Portuguese revolution) and a few moths after went to Brazil where he started to play guitar at the age of 14. This autodidact comes to Portugal before completing 18th and brings in the luggage all the influences he has collected in that country, once in Portugal he started to compose the first songs of this project. Always trying to improve his self-expression he decides to get some experience in stage playing a large repertoire of covers in bars between Portugal and France. He played rock/pop, reggae, ska, bossa nova between other styles never forgetting to work in his own compositions and always willing to edit his own project one day.
At the age of 27 he met Israel Cestinho and Hugo Florêncio, and with them he has started to work the arrangements and orquestration of the songs. Later on, Zéquinha, Filipe Valentim and Eddy Gondim join the band, since then the project has stated to grow, when they begun to record the fist demo they’ve met Claudio Nunes (Corvos), Tiago Flores (Corvos) and Luis Pinto and slowly the band was growing, during the recordings of the CD they’ve met Miguel Gonçalves, Antonio Morais and Ruben Santos, last but not the least, still during the recordings they had the honor of having invited musicians like Mr. Abilio Caseiro (Portuguese guitar) and the voices of Diana Freire and the producer Marco Jung.

When asked about his songs, Pedro Eça says that his objective is to pass pertinent messages of the actuality of our society talking about truth realities that are common to all of us but in a way ignored for we’re afraid to look into the mirror and expressing his point of view based in the reflex of his own experiences. With an eclectic approach, from funk to bossa nova Pedro Eça e os Franco Atiradores like to bet in fusion music with a groovy rhythmic section followed by a horn-section that deserves the designation of Big band.
For the moment they’re finishing the video-clip of the single “Rap do Ciclo with the Director Roger Berg, listen and enjoy this fusion band that tries to explore all styles and rhythms. 
Have fun and, see you on stage.
