The style of  Guarana is framed within World Music. The band has succeeded in doing something which is not that easy at all:  exploring the paths of the ethnic musics with surprising imagination, while at the same time making fresh, nice and vital music, capable of reaching a very wide audience. Guarana have an impressive style when performing live, with a very rich, expressive percussion, a careful setting and a perfect understanding among all the musicians. All these perspectives, supported by the successes achieved so far and the commissions that in the mid and long term are being developed, have an open
window in this webpage, where Guarana wish to be available to those people who are interested in or curious about them, so as to offer the audience images, sound clips and other illustrative contents on their
activities.

Guarana intend to spread their artistic activity into a wide range, given their onstage possibilities, the instrumental wealth, the varied, peculiar orchestration, the educational possibilities, the different formats they can display in their repertoire (normal concerts, reduced instrumentation, open air popular events...) and their availability to partake in collaborations for the release of  music albums together with other artists, as well as to offer a wide range of productions such as sound samples and orchestrations of rhythmic sections for the recording industry as well as for computer applications, among many other musical
                                                                                 activities.
 

The productions where Guarana have collaborated with, before giving live performances, are: The Manolo (Unreleased); Marc Martinez ("el Bolero del Raval"), Carles Beltran, Jazz el Destripador (Hello Ñandú). Having recorded their first release "Guarana" (recorded live at the Teatre Principal of Badalona, Spain), they have recently collaborated with their percussions in the soundtrack for the movie "Sexo por compasion" by Laura Maña, composed by Kiko Gener.
