Direct from Brazil: Canja Rave


It was exciting to meet Brazilian rock duo Canja Rave a couple weeks back when they came to town. They are friends of Johnny Miller's, and stayed at his house during their U.S. mini -tour.


Paula Nozzari (drums and vocals) and Chris Kochenborger (guitar and vocals) are from Porto Alegre, where they've been in important bands that have played around the world. Their music is in Portuguese and English.


During their visit, they played in Toledo and Bowling Green, Ohio, then Johnny joined them on stage at the Lager House in Detroit. While they were in the D, they were thrilled to record a single with legendary music producer Jim Diamond.


Then, they went to Austin, where they played two gigs during SXSW, at The Rio and Lamberts.


A documentary filmmaker captured their whole visit to America, and shot footage of Detroit bands while he was here, so a recent Mydols band meeting just might end up on Brazilian TV!
