Ubatuba is a Brazilian city, located on the southeast coast, in the state of São Paulo. The population in 2003 was 76,847, its density was 107.93 hab/km² with an area of 712 km².

Ubatuba is linked with the Rodovia Longitudinal or the BR-101 and is also located east of São Paulo and east/north/east of Santos and west of Rio de Janeiro. The city lies on the Tropic of Capricorn.

The urban area is mainly concentrated in the Atlantic and valley areas. The city frequently receives rain, hence the nickname Uba Chuva (chuva being Portuguese for "rain"). Much of the land to the north is forested and mountainous, forming a part of the Serra do Mar mountains. Serra do Mar State Park covers 83% of the city and has few connector roads through the mountain range. A marine park was created under Projeto TAMAR (Project Tamar) to protect sea turtles. In addition, the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo runs the Clarimundo de Jesus research base in Ubatuba.

Ubatuba is an important tourist city, receiving tourists from many parts of Brazil. Ubatuba features over 100 beaches. Among these are Maranduba, Lázaro, Itamambuca, Vermelha, Grande, Enseada, Perequê, and Saco da Ribeira. Ubatuba also features an island named Anchieta after José de Anchieta. It has been a nature preserve since March 22, 1977.

Ubatuba is considered, by law, as "The Surf Capital of Sao Paulo State". The city has received this honour because more than ten important surf contests are held off its beaches every year, including two world qualifying series, two Super Surf Pro series, and other competitions supported by such well-established brands as Billabong, Quiksilver and Dunkelvolk (which sponsored the 2009 edition of Ubatuba Surf Contest with more than 120 athletes).

History

Point where the Tropic of Capricorn crosses the city.

The origin of the name comes from the Tupi words uyba (arrows or canoes) and tuba (many). Ubatuba was the place where the Portuguese signed the first treaty of peace of the Americas with the Tupinambá Indians (The Treaty of Peace of Yperoig - Tratado de Paz de Iperoig), a treaty that kept Brazil in Portuguese hands, with only one language and one faith (Catholicism). Back in the 16th century the Tupinambá families were forced into slavery, working on sugar cane plantations along the Southern Shores surrounding the towns of Saint Vincent and Itanhaém, a region also called "Morpion" at that time (according to André Thévet - "Singularités de la France Antarctique").

The Tupinambá responded to this outrage with the Tamoio Confederation, a powerful military alliance that stood to destroy Saint Vincent, with the help of the French, who had founded a Protestant refugee colony, France Antarctique in Guanabara Bay before the foundation of Rio de Janeiro. The Portuguese set two Jesuit priests, Fathers Anchieta and Nobrega, to Ubatuba (a tribe named Yperoig), to make peace with the Tupinambá Indians. Anchieta was kept as a hostage and Nobrega returned to Saint Vincent along with the Chief Cunhambebe to make arrangements for the final Treaty. The Portuguese won, destroying France Antarctique and keeping the land.

San Francisco and Los Angeles,

Then Latin America and Europe

AURESIA

(pronounced ** or-ESH-a**)

Nominated for Favorite World Artist at 2010 Independent Music Awards!

Nominated for 4 Canadian Reggae Music Awards! (Top Newcomer, Top        Singer, Top Album, Top Producer)

Spotlighted “Artist of the Week” on CBC Radio 1, Home Run.

“If there ever was a time, since Bob Marley, where Reggae could actually penetrate popular music, Auresia definitely has the potential to do it”, Duke Eatmon, CBC Radio 1, Home Run.

“…it's obvious that Auresia is a talent worth watching”--- David Dacks, Exclaim!

Canadian singer Auresia is travelling non-stop for her expansive Worldwide Media Tour, coursing through the Americas and even across the Atlantic. All of this in anticipation of the releases of her four mind-blowing new music singles “Fuel Up On Love”, “Rising”, the radio hit “High” and “Quiero Bailar” (A salsa recorded in Cuba, in Spanish for the Latin American markets), as well as the promotional showing with three new high quality videos for “Fuel Up on Love”, “High” and “Rising”. All of them are part of her hugely anticipated album “Dangerous in Love”.

Only last week Auresia was in New York as part of her Worldwide Media Tour, sharing the studio with Timothy Soloman, who played with Peter Tosh, and visiting VP Records. Currently she's in San Francisco, she will be stopping in Las Vegas for a day on her way to  Los Angeles until June 18th, before heading back to Northern California for the Sierra Nevada Reggae Festival. Thereafter, a second  trip to SF for several days (June 22^nd) and a brief return to LA . From there, Latin America and Paris, France.

After releasing her video “Jah Goddes” on the Internet, one of the best singles in her debut self-titled CD, Auresia started working with Film Director ISIS GUMBS (Quiet Lion Productions, Montreal, QC) for the “Fuel Up On Love” HD quality video. The Film Director of the music video for “High” (an original collaboration with Omar Martinez, co-writer for Justin Bieber’s Pray) will be SOPHIA MALE, in Hollywood, California, who has professional directing credits with high profile clients such as Lady Gaga.

“This may actually be the Year for me and Music Videos! It has been a few years in the making and I would like to give huge thank you all the people that have come together to make these videos and my music career possible!”  -  Auresia, from San Francisco.

“As some of you might know of my love for Cuba this past year and I had gone back recently to record my 1st Salsa/ reggae single: called Quiero Bailar (Solita) / Q.B.S./ If you love Salsa and reggae, you can hear a mix of that song  on  myspace.com/auresia

* AURESIA’S BIOGRAPHY*

Exploding onto the global musical scene with musical roots as diverse as the modern globalized audience, Auresia is poised to take the international market by storm. Taking inspiration from Montreal’s unique pop sensibilities as well as the soul of Reggae, her music's  worldly flavors remain grounded in the best parts of her musical tradition while keeping herself free to innovate and inspire. A singer, songwriter and guitarist out of Montreal, she was nominated for Favorite World Artist at the 2010 Independent Music Awards and for 4 Awards at the Canadian Reggae Music Awards.

Born in Edmonton of Ukrainian decent, Auresia has been singing and charming audiences from the age of three. Her style is a new breed of Reggae for the urban soul; deep roots rhythms swathed by the melodies of Auresia’s sweet and haunting voice. Through her intricate melodies, beautiful harmonies and combination of world, Caribbean, soul, R&B, pop flavours and thoughtful lyrics, it’s evident that Auresia’s sound is diverse.

Auresia's shows are high-energy and pulse with positive vibes while captivating the audience with her meditative vocals. After years of performing in US, Jamaica, Europe, and  touring Canada from East to West (26 dates in 2009 Canada Roots Tour and 24 dates on her 2010 Summer Canada Love Tour), Auresia has developed a strong fan base. She is scheduled to perform further international shows later this Fall and Winter in Europe, Jamaica, Colombia, Brazil, Chile and Argentina with the release of new singles and videos: “Quiero Bailar” and “ Fuel Up (on Love)” this Spring/ Summer 2011.

Currently working on her sophomore album “Dangerous in Love” (working title), it will include tracks co-written by Omar Martinez (co-writer of Justin Bieber’s song, Pray), and tracks produced by David Beatty (Producer of Nelly Furtado’s, “Folklore“, a multi-platinum award winning album); all to be released later this Summer!

REVIEWS of AURESIA’s DEBUT ALBUM:

‘Auresia’-self-titled album, released November, 2008

"This Montreal singer's debut is a thoroughly captivating disc, with more inventive hooks and melodic touches than most roots albums. When it all comes together on majestic tracks like the Augustus Pablo-flavoured "Jah Goddess" and the heartfelt and focused tribute to her mother, "Echoes of Fall," it's obvious that Auresia is a talent worth watching. Every track on this album is deep and delicious, with bass sweetness and dub-informed production."-- David Dacks, Exclaim! Feb/March 2009

“Montreal has produced an artist who can run the range of Jamaician influence - Auresia. Tunes like “Give a Little Time” and “Jah Goddess” are emblematic of Auresia’s golden-era styled reggae, reaching back to the 1970’s, melodica and all- though she adds in a little contemporary influence, her sweet, soft voice becoming a little less so on a track like “What is Right.” A competent debut from a talented artist who knows how to combine a folk-driven style with the roots of reggae.” 8/10– Erin MacLeod, Montreal Mirror, January 15-21, 2009.

"One of the most distinctive things about Auresia's music is that although like many singers here and abroad, she writes good and meaningful lyrics, she also has the very rare (at least in reggae) ability to compose and play the music beautifully as well. She is a consummate musician, a skillful singer and deftly uses her voice as one of the instruments in the mix. Auresia is one of the few people left who truly understands the value of non-synthesized sounds and is the first female reggae producer from Quebec I have ever heard, and one of the first Canadians this year to properly orchestrate/arrange a horn section, complete with melodica; Proper!"- DJ Chocolate, Radio DJ CKLN, Toronto, ONT

"Auresia is Montreal's own Queen of Reggae! Her combination of reggae, R&B and roots own her a style that is uniquely her own."- Empress Soul, Positive Creations Music Collective, Canada

“… a stylish and smooth reggae recording that speaks both a personal and universal truth. Auresia's passionate approach to music and life helps explain why the album garnered four nominations at this year's Canadian Reggae Music Awards…”—Francois Marchand, Edmonton Journal, Edmonton, AB
