Borrowing its name from a Brazilian wild sugar-apple, Biribá Union features Mike Block (cello, vocals), Christylez Bacon (beatbox, guitar, rhymes) and Patricia Ligia (electric bass, vocals). The trio met through Silkroad’s Global Musician Workshop, initially bonding over their shared love of Brazilian music. They quickly began co-writing new music that draws on the freestyle theatrics of hip-hop and Go-go music; the effortless beauty of Brazilian forró and choro; the earthiness of American roots music, and the improvisational spontaneity of jazz.
Biribá Union makes a unique rhythmic cocktail with Bacon’s inner-city DC hip-hop and go-go rhythms entwined with Ligia’s subtropic bass lines. “Everyone feels safe to switch roles and go to unknown places,” Ligia explains. Block agrees. “We all have a lot of room to breathe,” he says. “We can each shapeshift yet magically never get in each other’s way.” Bacon says that meeting Block was “like finding a twin spirit.” “He’s an emcee in the original sense of the word. A true master of ceremonies who can take the crowd on a mission with him.”
