Nina Miranda and Chris Franck were involved in two of the biggest selling and critically acclaimed Brazilian influenced acts of the past decade Smoke City (still remembered for their seminal Underwater Love track) - and Da Lata, signed to Chris Blackwell's Palm Pictures label.
By no-means limiting their involvement to only Musica Brasileira, over the years they have collaborated with a number of world renowned musicians such as Tony Allen, Marisa Monte, Ernest Ranglin, Femi Kuti and Bebel Gilberto to name a few.
Now they are back with the second album of their project zeep. Fans of Zeep's summery debut record Nina Miranda & Chris Franck present zeep ("A signature album of 2007", according to The Times), will feel immediately at home with the wry, fiendishly catchy escapade of the opening track, Elasticated Master Peace, the space-age downtempo rock of Light Your Touch and the tripped-out bossa of Just A Little Bit. Whilst zeep was mainly dreamt up in London, the beat of Brazil gives the music its swing. But People & Things defies categorization, being simultaneously deep, sophisticated, inspiring and light as a feather.
Zeep have performed at festivals and venues around the world including Queen Elisabeth Hall (London), Womad Festival, Blue Note (Tokyo), Glastonbury.
