BaianaSystem (BR)
One of the most exciting bands coming out of Brazil at the moment – more specifically, Bahia, the state with the strongest African cultural heritage in the country. Aiming to manifest and champion the sound of the Black Atlantic, their sound takes in deep and future connections between Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean, from the roots of samba to global bass culture. Recent Latin Grammy winners in the category “Best Alternative Rock Album in Portuguese”, their release includes a collaboration with Manu Chao.
