Os Caras & Carol was created in 2015 by Carol, Diego, Joao, Leonardo and Ruvicio
with an authorial repertoire full of personality and also doing covers of very famous songs,
they have been winning the public.
if you still don't know them, I'm sure that after this interview on Turne Show you will become a fan of this band too!
Guys, it's a pleasure to have you here, Os Caras & Carol
a new band that is coming now in the music scene
but you actually started in 2015, right?
yes, true...
but if I am not wrong, the reason you started all this was not the music
you were taking acting classes and then you started making music, right?
yes, we started all this when we studied together at the Theater and TV school in Rio de Janeiro
which is the Wolf Maya school
Leo and I were students and Diego was the teacher
and Joao is the brother of a friend who was also a student
as a matter of fact was not a band in the beginning, the idea was to do a musical
the musical plot was about a band and we would write these songs
and when we met for the first time
we started showing the lyrics we have written
and we realised that if we tuned this into a musical, would be difficult to present it
we would need to do a season in a proper place, like a theatre or so
and the songs would be attached to that format
so when we did our first rehearsal we gave up this idea and decided to form a band
there was musical soiree at Joao's place and we saw him and wanted him right away
and that's how it started
but the band is made up of you, Carol, Leo, Joao and two others that couldn't be here
Diego and Ruvicio
and how do you coordinate that? because it's a lot of people, right?
with regards to writing the songs, how you will work on your music
how does it work? all the five people together
I believe everyone has their own individual process first to get to a collective process
Leo writes a lot
I write sometimes, it depends on when I get inspired to do it
Joao and Diego also write
so we have this moment to do our own stuff alone
writing or create something
then we bring to the group. and when this happen each one puts their own part in the project of idea and identity
what I also think is that the way we compose is very interesting
because we always think about something more theatrical when we create
as we have this base of the acting classes, the Theater, the stage
so we always try to think about everything that has to do with it like light, the show direction, the video clip
when we are doing the musical arrangement
so I think this is the way we see it
I think it's great to have the broad knowledge of all the creative process of you guys
it's crazy, because nowadays with the internet you need to think about everything
to have the complete product, the audiovisual is very important today
if we don't think about it, how are we going to create our own identity, you know?
what about your influences? everyone has a converging point with regards to taste?
or everybody has a completely different style?
I think we are all from different generations, for example, I'm the youngest in the band,
I'll be 18 years old next week
wow!
I don't know when this is going to be broadcast
you will be an adult when this goes on air!
Leo is 24 years old, Carol is 21 years old
no! I'm 26 years old! Unfortunately!
So, I'm not even going to say my age, since your are saying that "unfortunately" you are 26 years old!
there are differences among us and different ages
so when we bring all these different tastes we bring a unity in our music
I was actually talking to my mom about this one day.
this band didn't get together because everybody liked rock , it has never been about it
it happened because everybody brought something different and when we got together
we took all our references of things we listened to all our lives
Ruvicio is a professional musician, he plays with other artists and comes from completely different gigs
Leo has different influences, Joao, Diego and I also have the same
and when we started playing together we realised that we were playing rock
so it was actually a great surprise
it has never happened because everybody was a really big fan of rock
of course we do like it, but it was not the only reason
but the reason was that we really liked music
and when our music met, the rock was born in or band
well, you also asked about references
a good reference that we actually used for our song "Cabelo" was Fleetwood Mac, right?
that we were listening to a lot at the time we wrote it
and decided to bring this influence to our song
The Chain song specifically and also Rumours that was really strong for "Cabelo"
"Cabelo" was the song you released on all platforms and social media that was really successful
you had more that 500k views in two weeks, right?
yes...
how was the impact of that for you?
it was something that I really didn't expect
and everybody was making comments about it, saying that they like it
the majority of the comments are really positive
and this is very important for us
indeed
we didn't expect such a warm reception from the public
because this song talks about very intimate things, more introspective
and seeing so many people identifying themselves with the song
saying that they were relating their own story with this song
it is really cool that we can communicate with so many people
so when you see the numbers, of course, everything is about numbers now, right?
exactly
for you to play somewhere, give a concert, people to give you attention
the followers
everything is about numbers, so when we saw this high number of people watching it
and also the number of people relating themselves to the song
and creating an emotional relation with the song...
it was even more incredible!
besides that, you also come from different places
the majority comes from Rio de Janeiro
but from the capital
and others from the south of the state?
well, Diego is from Rio Grande do Sul
so, not even the south of the state, the south of Brasil!
he is a "Gaucho"
and Ruvicio is from Belford Roxo
so, they are both from Anil
we are from the west zone of the city!
we consider the whole band from Anil, I come from Anil
Do you know Anil Gisele?
Yes, I do guys! I know everywhere in Rio! I've been everywhere in Rio de Janeiro!
that's really cool! whenever you are in Anil let us know and we will bring you to see the waterfalls there!
we consider ourselves a band from Anil, the west zone of the city
because that's the place we go to do our rehearsal, play and be together, at the west zone, so...
we are from there
and you also opened a concert here in Rio de Janeiro
which was very important for you
yes, the Winter Festival
it was very important, we played before the "Paralamas do Sucesso"
so for us was like... I don't even know what to say
for me they guys are like...
it is kind of a baptism of fire!
yes! all of them, "Paralamas do Sucesso", Roberto Frejat, Nando Reis...
and Frejat, man... he helped us a lot
that's true!
he.... well... If you are watching us Frejat, thank you very much!
thank you Frejat!
he talked about us on TV, on RJTV show on the day of the concert
he talked about us during the live broadcast of the concert
this is something that we were not expecting
that someone would help us that much like Frejat did
and to be the opening band of this Festival with these three great artists...
and to be on the same stage that they also played...
so important, we actually learned how to play because of them
one of the first songs I learned how to play was "Por Você" from Frejat
and have him talking about our project, it's incredible, amazing
it's the feeling of mission accomplished
it's the recognition of an idol
for us, or at least for me he has been always an idol
a huge influence.. it's really good, really good...
what about future projects?
besides the song "Cabelo", that is very successful
what are the projects?
we have some stuff that are still in development phase
the moment we are living now is to promote the song "Cabelo"
it is to talk about it a lot
but we already planning an EP, that is going to the recording process now
we also have some recorded songs and "Cabelo" was recorded for more than a year
we recorded it in July last year, 2017
there are things that are ready, things that we still have to do
and things that we are still working on
but what is coming up now is our EP
exactly
do you already have a date that you can tell us?
I'd say if I could but I can't...
I won't be able to take this from Carol...
what about the guys? maybe they tell me?
so, if you want to know you'll have to follow us on the social media
you are going to find everything there, because I even didn't tell them the date!
but we are always updating our pages, so follow us to know more about it
very important! Instagram, Facebook and you also have your YouTube Channel
yes! everything is "Os Caras & Carol"
on Facebook, if you type the URL it is "Os Caras & Carol oficial" but the rest is all Os Caras & Carol

yes, really easy...
