about

Guarnicê its the most visited track of album ContraGolpe (CounterAttack) recorded in London in 2018.

For this reason we chose this song to be re-recorded for the album Tekó Porã, but now with a bolder arrangement and the addition of new verses.
______

This song is inspired by the traditions and rich musicality of the state of Pernambuco in Brazil. It's a homage to the "Caboclo de Lança" of the “Maracatu Rural”. This character incorporates symbols of the Brazilian struggle in its search for expression and freedom against the various forms of violence and control that still disempower the peoples of Brazil and Latin America.

about

Capoeira & Brazilian Experimental London, UK

I was born in Rio de Janeiro, I started in capoeira when I was 16 years old. My artistic and creative training goes mainly through this art form. From there I learned music, film and theatre.

I worked in slums in Rio, theatre in London and productions in Asia and Scotland. ... more
