Drive - Casa Murilo (video)
Autumn 2014
Many moons ago, two Englishmen, Dan Hesketh and Chris Winfield met two Norwegian girls in Brazil. They lived together with a man called Murilo and had many adventures.
Some time later they left Murilo behind and moved to Norway, where the Englishmen started a band and named it after him as a dedication. They put together a band & called it "Casa Murilo".
They quickly built something of a reputation on the Oslo underground for their raucous, energetic live show and have now played Norway, UK, Germany, Netherlands, India, Bangladesh, Sweden and Sri Lanka.

From pepsi.com
"...Jarle Bernhoft, known by his fans simply as Bernhoft, is a Norwegian singer, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. With thick-framed glasses, a knack for putting together a fresh wardrobe and a honey-sweet voice, Bernhoft is quickly making an impression on music lovers around the world–including Ellen Degeneres.
He rose to fame in his native country for a rock ‘n’ roll sound he crafted as a member of the band SPAN. After discovering his deep-seated love for soul music and artists like James Brown and Sly and the Family Stone, he became fixated on making music with a little more funk to it..."
