In collaboration with our previously published feature on the fashion brands redefining Brazil’s image, São Paulo-based stylist, writer and independent curator Ode has created a playlist featuring emerging talents stipulating the same revolution across Brazil via their music. From Ventura Profana – one of the most important names in contemporary art, whose practice sees her research the implications and methodologies of Deuteronomy in Brazil through the diffusion of Neopentecostal churches, while also performing as a missionary pastor and Evangelist singer – to Mateus Fazeno Rock, a young musician from the city of Fortaleza who coined the term “rock de favela” and former Banda UÓ member Mel, here are the new sounds of Brazil that you should be listening to, asap.
