Diafanes
Posted in: Music
One of the most promising indie alternative rock bands from Brazil would have to be Diafanes, a four-person group founded by vocalist Lorena Hollander in 2002. It’s really hard to label Diafanes as ‘alternative’ because their sound really defies traditional notions of alt rock. Melodies are a complex mix of guitar, bass, and unusual instruments like the castanet, derbake, and soon koto. Add the fact that vocalist Lorena is a coloratura soprano, which means she can reach the highest notes possible, and you have rock music unlike any other.
The band has release one album so far called “See Through,” and the lyrics are all in English despite the Diafanes’ Brazilian roots. Check out the tracks “Love In” and “Inside Me” for a sample of what Diafanes is all about. Both can be downloaded on their MySpace page. Visit

[…] Last week SpaceCadetz blogged about a great up-and-coming Brazilian alternative rock band called Diafanes. Hopefully you took a few minutes to stop by their profile and download some of their amazing tracks. Anyway, as it turns out Diafanes is currently taking part in an intense competition to land a spot at Lollapalooza. They were 1 of 20 bands selected (out of over 2000) by Perry Farrel and other celebrity judges, and are on the 3rd round of competition. They need to place in the Top 4 to get a chance to play in Chicago on August 2nd. PLEASE, take a quick second to click on the banner below and show them your support. Thanks! […]
