Budda Power Blues & Maria Joao - The Blues Experience (2017)

After some shows together, Budda Power Blues and Maria João decided it was time to get together and make a record. Budda signs all the lyrics and songwriting and Maria João offers her incredible voice and talent to the characters in each song. “The Blues Experience” is exactly that!! An experience in the fascinating world of the Blues, where Maria João lives behind her Jazz Background to embrace a song oriented record, full of very personal stories and thoughts, a lot of times sharing the role with Budda, considered to be the best Portugueses Blues artist.
The raw sound and energy of Budda Power Blues meets Maria João’s soft and gentle voice to create a new sound in a very special record.
It’s a Blues record but make no mistakes. We are in the XXI century, so there’s a lot of influences in it, due to all of the music Budda Guedes, Nico Guedes and Maria João listen to.
10 songs with a very personal approach, usually autobiographic, makes “The Blues Experience” a very eclectic record, traveling through many Blues styles.
