In 2024, Boogarins have shown that their creative flourish has matured but not lost its intensity.
After a U.S. tour in the first semester celebrating the 10th anniversary of their first record, the
band took this tour to their home country. They also continued performing special concerts titled
“Boogarins Toca Clube da Esquina,” a unique tribute where they showcase their deep
influences, blending their sound with Brazilian classics from the 70’s music scene. Artists such
as Milton Nascimento, Lô Borges, Beto Guedes, and others inspire this homage.
The band is now returning for their second North American tour of the year, this time hitting new
cities and performing at acclaimed festivals like Desert Daze, Levitation, and Hipnosis in
Mexico. For this second leg, Boogarins promises a new record by December and concerts
featuring new songs, along with their unforgettable vibrant stage energy.
Initially a lo-fi project from Goiânia, the land of Sertanejo (Brazil’s country music), Boogarins
have become one of the most celebrated Brazilian rock acts internationally. They have charmed
audiences around the world with intense performances where their beautiful songs are
immersed in sonic textures and improvisations, transcending language barriers.
The group began its journey in 2013 on the underground stages of their hometown, Goiânia,
with the release of their first EP, As Plantas Que Curam. The EP caught the attention of U.S.
label Fat Possum/Other Music, which re-released the group’s home-recorded debut later that
year. The album earned positive reviews in publications like The New York Times, Pitchfork,
and Chicago Tribune, paving the way for greater recognition in Brazil.
In 2014, the band toured Europe and the United States, supporting acts like The Clean, Of
Montreal, Guided By Voices, and Neutral Milk Hotel. During these tours, Boogarins produced
their second album, Manual (2015), which was later nominated for a Latin Grammy.
Between 2016 and 2018, the band was based in Austin, Texas, recording extensively between
tours. This period resulted in their next two albums: the conceptual Lá Vem a Morte (2017) and
Sombrou Dúvida (2019). These albums took them to major festivals around the world,
including Coachella, Desert Daze, Rock In Rio, Paredes de Coura, and their first performance
in South Africa.
During the pandemic, the band remained active with digital releases, collaborations with new
Brazilian artists, and music production workshops. They released a two-volume B-side
compilation titled Manchaca and presented a six-episode visual experience of their Sessões
De Cura e Libertação (Healing and Liberation Sessions)—what the band refers to as their free
improvisation sets, sometimes performed alongside their main sets.
