Casa Murilo, based in Oslo, is a band headed by the songwriting partnership of two Englishmen; Chris Winfield and Dan Hesketh.
Dan and Chris spent two years living, working, dancing and indulging in the extraordinary city of Salvador da Bahia, Brasil.
On NYE 2007 they conspired, along with singer/songwriter Ross Holmes, sadly still in Salvador, to take their promising early songwriting efforts more seriously and declared that together they would dedicate themselves to developing their songwriting skills, forming a band and would eventually tour South America in a VW Camper van.
Little did they know that they would have to head back to Europe before their journey could begin in earnest.
During their years in Latin America, the two had the good fortune to see, hear and know first hand the kindness, danger, artistry and disorder that are all part of Salvador. They experienced innumerable miraculous events that would change their lives, not least of which those that would take them to Oslo in the summer of 2008.
Now in 2009, the two are striving to complete work on their debut EP "The Waldemar Thranes Debacle", filled with songs inspired by these events and are looking to recruit further members to Casa Murilo with an eye to performing as much as possible in the summer.
