A Estrada É Vc
Testaverde is a project created by singer-songwriter Pedro Rafa and produced by Alê Siqueira. All music were created following a mythical path that invites the listener to reflect on life. Once experienced, these sensations stay in our memory and become Amulets, this is the result of the Testaverde Experience. Testaverde is a symbol of our true self. When we fell alive, when we are our best self, we are Testaverde. The songs that integrate the album A Estrada É Vc arrive accompanied by visualizers directed and animated by Alois Di Leo. The visualizers are frames of the music video of Livre, a song that is considered the seed of the other songs: from Livre, the other songs appear, and the same happens with the music video, which gives rise to the visualizers of the other tracks.
Great authentic artists were present in the project. The renowned Munir Hossn (Alfredo Rodriguez), DJ Cia (RZO, Racionais MC’s), Tom Driessler (Tom Misch, Jordan Rakei, Adele), Maurício Fleury (Bixiga 70), Marcelus Leone (Ivete Sangalo), André Magalhães (Sérgio Mendes, Carlinhos Brown, Ana Carolina) and Thiago Ticana (Seu Jorge), as well as rising talents from São Paulo’s music scene Gustavo Marson (Filhos do Mar) and Gabriel Lima (Filhos do Mar).
Pedro Rafa says that the project can be used as a tool for evolution. Amulets from the Testaverde Experience can become triggers for when we are enjoying music in our routine. A shortcut to our own being.
Estrada É Vc is available on all digital platforms. The music video and visualizers can be watched on Testaverde’s YouTube channel. To venture into the Testaverde Experience (Only available in Portuguese at the moment), it can be found on the Sensações tab of the website.
