about

Tempo Feliz is proud to announce the release of their single Respirar on the 30th of April on HBPC Records, with a remix from Sibson (Elevator East). It is also the title track of their debut album, coming out later in May.

Tempo Feliz is a Leeds-based Brazil-inspired ensemble, performing exciting original compositions and electrifying arrangements of Brazilian classics. Having collectively been inspired by the rich and multi-faceted landscape of Brazil, Tempo Feliz fuse funk, soul and disco with Brazilian percussion styles, creating their own original grooves with flavours of samba, batucada and MPB.

The 9-piece ensemble is a Music:Leeds launchpad-supported group and have been writing and performing on stages throughout the UK. The album, spearheaded by Rich Vickers and Henry Weekes, was recorded at Eiger Studios in 2020. They are proud to be launching their debut album on the 20th of May at a sold-out show at the Brudenell Social Club.

Respirar was written during the band's 5 years gigging across the country and experiencing the ebb and flow of audiences on the dancefloor. Translating as “to breathe”, the album encompasses high energy dance grooves and moments of calm, centred around the collective breath of the audience. The title track has become an anthem of the band, showcasing the fierce horn section and being driven by funk-orientated guitar and bass rhythms and bateria percussion.

Sibson is Mikey Sibson, the Leeds born, Berlin-based producer who made a name for himself hosting the Elevator East parties in London. His immense musical knowledge is reflected in his production skills, producing everything from left-field acid to low-tempo Balearic belters. Now working with the Balearic Ensemble label, Sibson is making waves across Europe and Tempo Feliz is honoured that he has remixed the first single.

Intoxicating euphoric ethereal psychedelic soul at it’s very best … and I do mean intoxicating, as the adventure never rises above heartbeat level, locked into a slow-paced groove bewitched by R&B inspirations from the late 60s and early 70’s that reach out of the darkness with an easy going vibe of love, joy and happiness.
