"Do I Wanna Know?" by Groove Da Praia

 


Groove Da Praia are a studio band from.... dunno.

I can't find a list of band members, or any biographical info.  

But, here are a few working theories:

1) Based on their collaborations with Los Angeles, California chill/bossa band Ituana, they may also be from the states.  

2) They are represented by PMB, a label that operates out of Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Maybe they're Argentinian.

3) The name "Groove Da Praia" is Portuguese for "Groove of the Beach," so, possibly Brazilian?

4) Their music is featured on the album "Vintage Reggae Cafe," which is described as "the best expression of Jamaican music produced in this decade."  So, possibly Jamaican.

Wherever these mystery artists hail from, they lay down an undoubtedly praia type groove on their reworking of 2013 slow-burning stoner rock song "Do I Wanna Know?" from Sheffield, UK garage rock band Arctic Monkeys.
