When journalist Yara Dosso was 13, a worldwide phenomenon of pop music exploded, attracting a legion of fans around the planet, especially the girls. It was the trio of brothers and musicians Isaac, Taylor and Zac, who signed with the last name: Hanson. By the time they won the charts with the hit “MMMBop”, the boys were only 16, 14 and 11 years old. It was what most charmed Yara.

“Imagine a kid who played drums like that. They had incredible musicality,” he says. “I liked, first of all, the rhythm of the songs, and also of their history, of three brothers who learned to play with their father.”

Yara was the typical card fan. It had a huge collection of posters, magazines, and special articles. He recorded all the trio’s appearances on television on VHS and devoted himself, almost full-time, to the affection for the group. Love was great, but she had never been able to see them live.

“My parents were humble, I was a teenager, I had no money, they came to Brazil, but I did not go,” he says. In addition, his huge collection of Hanson articles ended up being lost along with the change of a friend. “I had taken my things to her house, she moved, we lost touch, I lost everything. I’m sad about it to this day.”

Many years have passed. From the past, there is only one photo from 1997 that shows Yara’s collection, lying on her bed and raised.

This year, Hanson announced a quick tour of Brazil, through Belo Horizonte, last Friday. Yara, who is now a married journalist, glimpsed the chance she never had. “I saw on a news portal that they were coming in. My husband said, ‘Let’s make this dream come true.’ He gives me the most support, we’re very close.”

Yara and Erlon chose to go to the Minas Gerais show because they have relatives in the region, an uncle and two nephews, who helped in the entire process of buying tickets and lodging. The show, packed with old hits and current songs, was tanned until the last minute by Campo-Grandense. “I almost went crazy, I went back to my 12 years of age, my heart beat hard,” he says. “The hour I saw them coming in, I could not believe that after 20 years I was there.” My eye filled with tears.

But, not to pay tribute to the family, Yara says she held on to the emotion. She was only crying the very next day, when she got an exclusive autograph from the boys.

That’s because Yara’s niece, Bruna, knew one of the security guards hired to protect the Hansons. It was the perfect opportunity. “I went to the hotel the next day to try to talk to them.I could not.I gave my 1997 photo to my niece’s known security.He managed to get the photo for them to autograph,” celebrates Yara .

When he saw the photo, there was another wave of emotion. “I’m crying horrors,” said the journalist, who this time could not hold back her tears. She may have lost all of her precious collection, but now she has a photo of her with an autograph unique to the idols.

Hanson celebrates 25 years of career with live show in São Paulo

Pop phenomenon of the 1990s, the American trio Hanson performed on Saturday night (26), at Citibank Hall, in São Paulo.

Formed by brothers Isaac (guitar and vocals), Taylor (piano and voice) and Zachary (drums and vocals), the group drew attention at the time because it was formed by talented (and hairy) teenagers – they were, respectively, 16, 13 And 11 years when they blew up worldwide with “Mmmbop”.

The show is part of the commemorative tour of the band’s 25-year career, as well as marking the 20th anniversary of their first commercial album, “Middle of Nowhere” – that’s where “Mmmbop” is. Before, they performed in Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte.

Despite never having achieved the spectacular success of the first hit, the trio remained active: it released five other albums, a brand of beers (called Mmmhops) and, in May of this year, the single “I Was Born.” With this, the faithful fan base has also remained active, which has aged with them and today is formed, mostly, by women in their 30s.

It was they who filled the space at Citibank Hall late Saturday with the same enthusiasm of adolescence – many wore t-shirts with phrases like “Taylor Hanson was my first love”, plus banners and Posters.

On stage, the group returns the affection of the audience. In an extensive, almost two-hour show, he toured every moment of his career with songs like “If Only,” “This Time Around,” “Save Me,” and “Thinking ’bout Somethin.” Performance has no signatures. They are, their instruments, two musicians of support, and only. There are no scenarios, projections or special lighting. But there is a lot of interaction with the public, thanks, mentions to other visits to Brazil and, in the end, a proposal: in case the audience promises to return to see them, they promise to return to the country.

The trio ends their Brazil tour with a show at the Fonte Nova Arena in Salvador, on Sunday (27). Tickets cost from R $ 90 (half-ticket) and can be purchased at www.bilheteriavirtual.com.br

American trio that was bursting in the 90’s is on commemorative tour of 25 years of road

Are you coming into pop rock dance, with influences of soul and rockabilly? So, and maybe that’s a bit shocking, Hanson’s show may be perfect for you. The blond boys (now men in their thirties, parents of children, full of children, etc.) who were successful worldwide in the 1990s with the hit “MMMBop” chewing gum, made this Thursday in Rio, the first of Four concerts in Brazil from the band’s 25-year memorial tour, “Middle of Everywhere.”

If this first presentation sets the tone for the others, it is safe to say that the show should appeal to card fans, to those who liked the group in the past, and who are curious about what the boys are doing. The show was thought to be a summary of Hanson’s career and the result is pleasant, very lively and very competent.

ISAAC HANSON: “LIFE PASSES VERY QUICK AND IN A ‘MMMBOP’ ALL IS FINISHED”

Punctually, the Americans took to the stage at the scheduled start of the show and, with two supporting musicians, started playing “Already Home” from the last album “Anthem”. They then amended the equally exciting “Waiting for This,” “Where’s the Love” (one of the best known of the trio) and “Look at You.”

Well rehearsed and full of breath, the band took the whole show in blocks of songs with few intervals, which the three members used to, with much sympathy, to speak the classic “obligados” in Portuguese and to contextualize the presence of some songs in the setlist, Case of the acoustic ballad “On and On”, part of an EP of the trio destined only members of the fanclub.

Within this quieter section, the fluffy “Penny & Me” and the emotional “Save Me”, which rocked the soap opera couple in the early 2000s, were played out of a 15-year-old wedding party and, of course, sung At the top of his lungs.

In the last third of the show, the animation returned with the new “I Was Born” and the old but incredibly known by the Brazilian public “A Minute Without You”, followed by the sung “Get the Girl Back” and “Give a Little” Which transformed part of the space into a dance floor. The maximum hit of the trio, “MMMBop,” and “If Only,” the song that released Hanson’s second album in 2000 and created an almost apotheotic mood in the house, were almost gone.

In the bis, a little more of the showcase of talents of the young men. Going back to the origins, when children began as a cover group to the capella of songs of the 50s and 60s, the three sang using only the microphone “Rockin ‘Robin” of Bobby Day, followed by “Johnny B Goode” and the author ” Lost Without Each Other “, composed in their own image of the genre that inspired them.

Hanson also passes through Belo Horizonte (August 25), São Paulo (26) and Salvador (27). Although a good part of the audience is composed of the faithful fans who have been with the band for more than 20 years, there is plenty of room for those who want to know the long career of the young.

As part of its 25th anniversary the band has been making an extensive tour that includes presentations in Europe, Australia, North America and South America in which they review all his discography.
Also as part of the anniversary, they launch in September of this year Middle of Everywhere – The Greatest Hits, an album with the complete collection of their most famous songs like Mmmbop, Where’s The Love and Weird, as well as their new single I Born.
Formed in 1992, the trio of brothers from Tulsa, Oklahoma, started playing classical rock and soul music also featuring original songs. The success came in early 1997 with the release of their third album from their studio Middle of Nowhere, which includes Mmmbop, and which began a long list of singles that positioned them as one of the world’s leading artists. Look at the video:

“Making music together for 25 years is a milestone we had to recognize, and what better way to do it than with an anniversary tour and a Greatest Hits.”
Taylor Hanson. “The response of the tour so far has taken us far, and we are really looking forward to taking the tour to Latin American fans to celebrate this important moment.” Isaac Hanson. “Time flies When you stop a little and everything you did you find yourself with great moments and good songs, I am proud of the way we went.” Zac Hanson.

Trio formed by the three brothers of Oklahoma (USA) celebrates 25 years of career with world tour

Four years after his last concert in Rio de Janeiro, Hanson returned to the Marvelous City to bring to the Rio audience the commemorative tour of the band’s 25th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of the release of their debut album, “Middle of Nowhere.” If Taylor, Isaac and Zac HansonThey do not meet the audience of yesteryear, at least the fans present at the KM Hall Advantages (old Metropolitan) were quite excited even before the show started. The siblings gave a nostalgic presentation to a crowd of mostly 20-30 year old women who went crazy with every success on the setlist. At 9:33 pm, just three minutes after the scheduled start of the show, the American trio, accompanied by two other supporting musicians, appeared on the stage, promoting a deafening wave of screams.

Before even sitting in front of the piano, Taylor, the most wanted member of the girls, greeted the audience. “Hello, Rio, welcome to the show,” said the singer, with a smile on his face. Already Isaac came in with the cell phone in hand, filming the reaction of the fans. The first repertoire of music was “Already Home” , the latest album released by Hanson, “The Anthem” , 2013. The show then followed excited about “Waiting for This”, the CD “Shout It Out” , released in 2010 But it was even the double of “Where’s the Love” and “Look At You”, Both of Hanson’s debut work, which set the audience on fire. Not to be outdone, the 1997 album sold more than 10 million copies and earned three Grammy nominations for Taylor, Isaac and Zac. The figures cited, of course, make the audience’s warm welcome to the two songs totally understandable.

The presentation in Rio de Janeiro continued with “Tragic Symphony” and “Thinkig Bout ‘Something” . After the latter, Taylor released a “thank you” in Portuguese. “It’s great to be back in this wonderful country, where we first came in 2000,” he added. The next songs in the setlist were “Runaway Run” and “This Time Around” , the eponymous album released in 2000. Going through all the stages of his musical career, shortly after appeared in the repertoire “Go” , the CD “The Walk” , 2007, and “Strong Enough to Break” and “Penny & Me” , the album “Underneath” (2004). In the midst of them,“Juliet,” when Zac and Taylor switched roles on stage. The youngest Hanson, 31, went to the piano, and the middle one, 34, took up drumsticks. Meanwhile, Isaac, 36, continued on guitar.

Later, “Save Me” , eternalized in Brazil due to the participation in the soundtrack of the novel “Family Ties”, marked one of the highest points of the night. The acoustic hit made the fans sing loudly and emotionally as the trio’s voices harmonized with praise. Before “I Was Born,” the single released this year, Taylor spoke about how each of us came into the world to fulfill a unique mission, whatever it was, that could never be fulfilled by another person, making us special. The motivational speech, of course, won the audience and the singer received a lot of applause.

As the performance progressed, the brothers were looser on the stage, visibly giving their best to please their devoted fans. Thus came hits like “A Minute Without You”, “Give a Little”, “MMMbop” and “If Only” , to make anyone present in the show tired of jumping and singing. The last two songs of the setlist were “Fired Up” and “In the City” , forcing the brothers to say goodbye to the audience at 11:26. A few minutes later, Hanson returned to the bis, which, contagiously, ended the presentation in a warm pace.

The final part of the show featured the covers of Bobby Day ‘s “Rockin ‘Robin” and Chuck Berry’s “Jhonny B. Goode,” ending with “Lost Without Each Other . ” With two hours of music, the celebratory night of Hanson in Rio de Janeiro was, in fact, striking for band and also for the public. The fans may not have come by weight, but whoever was there filled the gap of those who were missing and certainly went home with a good story to tell.
