Experts attribute the vocal similarity to the concept of timbre, which is described as the unique vocal identity akin to a fingerprint. Cíntia de Los Santos, a singer and voice expert, explains that while timbres can be similar, they are distinct due to subtle differences in resonance and vocal range. These differences are often influenced by physical attributes such as larynx size and bone structure.
Edmilson Pravesh, a maestro, highlights that physiological factors and vocal techniques contribute to the likeness between Panda and Bruno. Both artists employ techniques that result in a rich, velvety sound, characteristic of high-quality sertanejo music. The use of vibrato, a technique involving rapid pitch fluctuations, further enhances their vocal maturity.
Panda acknowledges the influence of Bruno on his musical journey, which began at age 14 after recognizing the similarity in their voices. However, he emphasizes that his style is authentic and not an imitation. The nickname “Panda” was suggested by his manager to simplify his stage persona, and it has proven effective as his popularity grows.
The Limeira Rodeo Music festival, held in Cordeirópolis, is expected to attract 15,000 visitors daily, benefiting the local economy. Panda’s performance is part of a lineup featuring other renowned artists like Gusttavo Lima and Luan Santana.
