After international success with "Tonight Josephine" Tape Five now steps forward with some 1940's inspired flavours! Tape Five with his pacifist attitude has always been inspired by the Great Big Bands from the 30's and 40's who entertained the troops with their unique, powerful and cleverly arranged swingin´sounds, put him right in the mood.

With alliances around the world Tape Five is stationed on hundreds of music compilations. An ever expanding, swinging Universe.

The album highlights ("Nao Va Se Perder por Ai") and ("Dois Mil e Um") come with what sounds like a typically twisted take on roots music (both Brazilian and American), complete with banjo, accordion, and twangy vocals…
