Having its roots in the mid 80’s, Poços & Nuvens (that means Wells & Clouds in portuguese) began its career in South Brazil with the open intention to play and create progressive rock. Its unique blend of prog rock, brazilian music and folk roots is permanently opening the band’s way to a wider audience.
Ano Veloz Outono Adentro (Fast Year Through Autumn), released in 1998, was the band’s first cd, and received excellent reviews from prog rock magazines around the world.
“One of the three best first cds of the year”. Rock In Access, Italy.
“Ano Veloz Outono Adentro is music and poetry in a pure state”. Metamusica, Brazil.
“A true instrumental work. A recording as we don’t hear anymore in these days. A unique opportunity to hear a very original symphonic prog rock...” Rock In Access, Italy.
In 2001, the violinist Iva Giracca was included as a sixth member. With the new line up the band recorded its second cd, Província Universo (Province Universe), released in the beggining of 2002. This work was released by Musea and Rock Symphony labels and received even more positive reviews around the world.
“Poços & Nuvens is one of the best brazilian bands I ever heard, if not the best”. Progressor, Uzbequistan.
“The whole of the album is an immensely pleasurable listen. The portuguese vocals are of absolutely no detraction to the album which flows along at an incredibly smooth pace and should be of interest to most if not all pogressive rock lovers. If you are interested in hearing what the Latin American world has to offer as regards progressive rock, then this album is a good place to start off from. The Dutch Progressive Rock Pages. (www.dprp.net/reviews)
“Provincia Universo has, in fact, all the elements to become very quickly a small classic of symphonic prog. Eventyr Records, Italy.
In 2001, the band played at Rio Art Rock Festival alongside Tryo, Xang and Le Orme. In 2003, the band was the opening act to Focus in Brazil and in 2004 played at Baja Prog , in México.
