Wannabe Jalva is a Space Groove Rock band formed in 2010 by Tiago Abrahao (guitar/bass/seq), Felipe Puperi (vocal/guitar), Rafael Rocha (vocal/guitar/bass) and Fernando Paulista (drums) in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

In 2011, they were invited to play the inaugural MECAFestival in Porto Alegre, playing alongside Two Door Cinema Club and Vampire Weekend. That summer they released their debut EP, Welcome To Jalva, which had fans and critics immediately hooked on their sound.

They began to work on new material in 2013 in a kind of reclusion state of mind. Their journey through sidereal environments and textures became the foundation for Collecture (2014).
