🎺 This 10-piece, horn-driven, instrumental group have firmly established themselves as one of the most acclaimed and influential exponents of contemporary Afro-Brazilian sounds.
Named after the cultural melting pot of their home base in São Paulo’s Bixiga neighbourhood, with an added tip of their hats to the inspiration of Fela Kuti’s Afrika 70 band, Bixiga 70 came together from diverse musical backgrounds and from their inception, operated as a collective. 🎷🎷
🚀 From the very first album, the band created a compelling mélange that almost immediately propelled them to the forefront of Brazil’s contemporary instrumental music scene - a place where they have remained ever since.
🇧🇷 Considered by many to be the birthplace of samba music in São Paulo, the vibrant Bixiga neighbourhood fed their collective imaginations as the band created their own individual and sure-handed take on the 70’s cosmopolitan music of Ghana and Nigeria, the rhythms of African-Brazilian religious terreiros, hip hop, space jazz, malinkê, cumbia, carimbó and blaxploitation soundtracks.
It was a musical vision that blurred the line between past and future and embraced a complex menu of grooves and global sounds. 🎶
