Orlando Haddad and Patricia King Haddad are long time partners in marriage and music. They formed their group Minas in 1978 at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. They began playing in the Eastern United States before moving to Brazil. They returned to the US in 1984 to continue building their reputation as one of the most sought-after Brazilian groups of its kind. Multi-talented Orlando and Patricia Haddad are Composers, Vocalists and Instrumentalists who are comfortable in Brazilian Jazz, Folk and Classical genres.
I have always been a fan of good covers of great music. In their new CD "Minas Beatles in Bossa" this talent duo presents the case very well. Combining songs written by the Beatles with the Brazilian sounds and American Jazz touches has produced a beautifully listening CD that will please any audience. The arrangements on this CD are terrific, new and creative, taking traditional rock and roll song to a new level for a new generation.
American Patricia King Hadad's earlist musical influences were formed listening to Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 while Brazilian Orlando Haddad fell in love with the Beatles and credits them as the inspriation for becoming a musician and later immigrating to the the US. Together they have creative a terrific sound and given new birth to some of our favorite Beatles songs.
