Minas

Orlando Haddad and Patricia King formed Minas in 1978 at North Carolina School of the Arts to bring Brazilian music to stateside audiences. They proceeded to play all over the eastern US before going back to their musical roots in Brazil, where they entertained, traveled extensively and recorded their first album, Num Dia Azul. Today Minas is one of the most sought-after Brazilian bands in the United States. Minas is built upon the duo's multiple talents as vocalists, instrumentalists and composers with an impressive grasp of the whole range of Brazilian musical idioms. At the core of any Minas show are the voices of the duo, which reflects two decades of vocal and instrumental blending. Warm and engaging, this magical sound becomes infectious when Minas adds bass, drums, percussion and horns to Orlando's guitar and Patricia's keyboards.

Bret Tobalske

Born: November 14, 1966

I love music in all its forms, but I am mainly inspired by jazz, blues and rock. My primary instruments are acoustic and electric guitars, but I also play bass guitar, drums including doumbek, tar and ngoni and other percussion instruments. I use a keyboard to drive MIDI samples. I am part of a duo with Jerred Seveyka, "Seveyka and Tobalske," and we have one album "Decompression Stop" and several singles. I am also in a duo with Joe Moll, "Kootenai Creek," and we have released five singles, most recently: "Moon Turned On." I regularly collaborate with Jean-Luc Saintot in the Jura, France and Ken Dial in Montana, USA.
