Republique du
Salem’s
Talks New Album & Peace
in Chaos
REPUBLIQUE DU SALEM IS A THREE PIECE ROCK BAND FROM SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL. NO
STRANGERS TO THE MUSIC SCENE, THE CHARISMATIC ROCK OUTFIT IS RETURNING
IN 2015 WITH AN UPCOMING ALBUM THAT IS SURE TO DELIVER SOMETHING ARTFULLY
COLOURFUL.
Noting the very people-oriented connotation of the
band’s name, “Republique du Salem stands for ‘a place
of peace among chaos’” says vocalist David Stracci,
and what a noble name for a very striking musical
group. And yet, as worldly as their visage sounds, they
are in actuality just a humble group of men looking to
improve their craft. It’s this balance of humility and
worldiness, as well as a very easy-going demeanour
that I had the pleasure of encountering, that makes us
all the more excited for this Brazilian rock band.
When trying to record their upcoming album, drummer Nae Silva described the recording process to be
alike to “learning to walk again.” Indeed, this is not a
22 – 24OURMUSIC
band that claims to be already high above their ceiling,
rather they are constantly working towards that never
ending cap, bettering themselves and having fun making good music while they’re at it.
With Marc Ford (formerly of Black Crowes) at the helm
of the project, there’s definitely something special
brewing inside the laboratory of these three enigmatic
gentlemen. Check out the interview below for our
exclusive interview with this exciting act.
