Led by vocalist Anderson Dresch and represented by the international label Altafonte, this musical project goes beyond entertainment.

This vision is already evident in the EP “Etéreo”, with five tracks, and the music video “Gratidão – Pegadas na Areia” (Gratitude – Footprints in the Sand). The songs move between rock, alternative pop, and the sensitivity of spiritual connection.

Today, spirituality is increasingly recognized as an essential pillar of well-being and quality of life, offering resilience, hope, and a sense of purpose that contributes to both mental and physical health.

Though not to be confused with religion, spirituality involves the pursuit of transcendence and can be found in nature, self-reflection, and music—positively impacting how we deal with stress and daily challenges.

In music, we find many examples of sound as a means of transcendence, personal encounters, and paths to reinterpretation.

From blues, which incorporated spirituals, work songs, and African musical traditions, to folk—a genre that originates from the traditional music of a people and expresses the culture and customs of a community, often addressing social and political themes.

Artists like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell are icons of this style.

Even rock—emerging in the U.S. in the late 1940s and 50s with roots in American genres like country, blues, and R&B—spread worldwide and gave rise to legendary icons who continue to inspire society today, such as The Beatles, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, The Doors, among many others.

With a core focus on vibrations that connect humans with their “inner self,” the project Terra de Nós Mesmos (which loosely translates to “The Land of Ourselves”) brings soulful rock to life. Supported by and officially part of the roster of international label Altafonte—home to names like Samuel Rosa, Gilberto Gil, Ivete Sangalo, Alok, Vitor Kley, and Marcelo D2—the label handles the band’s distribution and release strategy.

The band arrives with a bold proposal: to awaken consciousness through music. Altafonte plays a key role in the project’s global strategy, being a crucial partner in its international expansion and ensuring that the project’s message reaches millions of people in various countries.

In Brazil, the label distributes major national music stars and now bets on Terra de Nós Mesmos as a promising name in the contemporary Brazilian rock scene.

The signing with the label was made via Miranda Records, Altafonte’s arm in Brazil. For artistic director Ricardo Espíndola, who presented the project to the company, the band represents a product with international appeal.

 

“We are dealing with an international product.

The band’s proposal had a strong impact on us—from the modern rock concept to the music videos and their visceral live performances,” he says.

 

> “Being with Altafonte is a validation of our purpose. We found a team that believes in message, in soul-driven art, and knows how to connect that with the world. Etéreo is just the beginning.” – Anderson Dresch

 

Terra de Nós Mesmos is a contemporary musical project with a global vision, blending art, transcendence, and emotion into a sonic experience that touches the soul.

Created by the multifaceted artist Anderson Dresch, the project aims to impact millions of people worldwide. Its launch includes the EP Etéreo and the music video for “Gratidão – Pegadas na Areia”, translated into 10 languages, reinforcing its universal and accessible character.

The band blends deep lyrics, modern sound, and a strong visual identity, inviting the audience into a sensory and reflective experience.

The project explores themes such as gratitude, inner light, overcoming, and connecting with life’s essentials—bringing a sense of lightness and purpose.

Its influences include major national and international rock bands, along with folk rock and Brazilian popular music elements.

More than just songs, the band and its debut EP carry a mission and social responsibility: 50% of the project’s royalties will be donated to charitable institutions, beginning with Fundação Pró-Rim in Joinville, SC—a foundation that provides free support to thousands of chronic kidney patients in Brazil, with about 99% coming from the public health system (SUS).

It performs over 115,000 hemodialysis sessions annually and has surpassed 2,050 kidney transplants.

This movement transforms art into concrete action, reinforcing the band’s commitment to social transformation.

Terra de Nós Mesmos is a journey from the inside out, celebrating the reconnection with one’s true essence.

A work that merges sound, poetry, and truth, translated into different cultures and languages, taking its message to the world. It’s music to feel, reflect, and elevate—with the goal of transforming lives and inspiring individuals to reconnect with themselves and what truly matters.

With a strong background in music and audiovisual production, Anderson Dresch, a São Paulo native based in Santa Catarina, brings to the EP a unique identity marked by freshness, purpose, and influences ranging from Coldplay and Keane to Legião Urbana, Almir Sater, and Renato Teixeira.

 

Etéreo – Art, Transcendence, and Contemporary Sound

With five original tracks, the EP Etéreo was produced by Anderson Dresch and multi-instrumentalist Douglas Bifaroni, featuring mastering by Carlos Freitas (Classic Master), a 34-time Grammy winner.

Etéreo means something spiritually uplifting, sublime, and elevated. The songs move between rock and alternative pop.

The main track, “Gratidão – Pegadas na Areia”, is accompanied by an emotional and minimalist music video that visually conveys the message of appreciating the journey and the small things in life.
