Looking for the perfect beat in Brazil
Brazil is a huge music place. When a global survey recently asked young Brazilians to rank their passion for music, Brasileiros came first in front of Spain and UK. I must said that i never went to a place where music was so omnipresent in everyday life.
I am spending few month here visiting friends and meeting new people from the music scene.
I must said that i never went to a place where music was so loud everywhere you go and pretty much 24/7 …
In 2011, Criolo, a talented young 27 artist from Sao Paulo, became increasingly popular by successfully giving away his latest album for free -theweeknd style- on YouTube (pronounced u-to-be) and soundcloud. The live scene is vibrant as well.
Music seems to be a part of the national identity.
As Japan, this is a hard market to break for foreigners. Few people speaks english (and fewer seems interested by US music). Local scene is gigantic and constantly changing. Dozens of music genres are sprayed all over the country (as big as Europe) and every year new genres appears too.
Holla at me if you around.
