Eclecticity, if such a word existed, would best describe the style and sound of up-n-coming vocalist Janira Campos and her band. The music, like the band, is a mix of musical styles and cultures (R&B, jazz, funk, soul, blues, latin and rock) fused into a smooth, urban sound and rythym.
Janira's voice, at once smooth and sultry, is just as comfortable belting out blues and grit. The band consists of John Zych on keyboards, Hector Soto on bass, guitarist John Betz, guitarist Eric Scott Platow, Christine Solimeno on drums, Bob Dolle on percussion and Carl Bartlett Jr. on saxophone.
JANIRA has been together in various forms for 6 years and has played a variety of venues in and around the New York metropolitan area.

Music from the Soul
author: Ed Steele - Drummer at The Vineyard, Rockville Centre, L.I.
For me, Janira's music on "Time And Season" is nothing less than pure soul - that is they play from the heart. The band's mix of a jazzy, rock and funk sound come together like nothing I've ever heard before. Janira Campos' singing brings each song to a heavenly climax as the lyrics talk about life as it really is. It is truly refreshing to see that there are still bands out there that can cook as Janira does. They're a blessing.

Christian music that has worldly appeal !
author: Laura T Lynch of Kweevak.com
Janira Campos and her band are from the NYC region. Their music is a blend of cultures and styles that include the blues, jazz, R&B, rock, urban and world. Their values are Christian based and the goal of their songs is to honor God. Their debut CD Time and Season is a diverse and spirited twelve track collection that fulfills that mission. Janira has a wide vocal range that can be smooth as silk or somewhat gritty depending on the mood and tone of the song. The other seven members of the band are experienced, talented players who bring drama and depth to Janira's compositions. Their music is a blend of assorted genres with plenty of faith and a dash of urban edge. The CD starts off strong with 'Sara' featuring soulful vocals, soaring guitar leads, funky keys and solid instrumentation. The song starts off slow and poignant as it builds up to a funky grove. 'Jesus' is sung and played with passion and energy - a very inspiring track! 'This Too Shall Pass' has Latin like instrumentation reminiscent of Santana, melding well with Janira's expressive vocals. Campos and company craft Christian music that has worldly appeal!
