Bixiga 70 delivers a high-octane, fully instrumental mix of Afrobeat, brass, candomblé and Latin groove. Their sound carries the spirit of Fela Kuti, but also Jorge Ben, Tony Allen and Tropicália. All filtered through a raw, distinctly Brazilian energy.
Born in the Traquitana studio in the vibrant Bixiga district of São Paulo, the band has grown into a fearless voice for freedom and rhythmic resistance. On stage, they’re an organic force: drums, synths and horns spiraling into a trance-inducing celebration. Their latest album Vapor (Glitterbeat, 2023) pulses with both sorrow and joy, a musical steamroller.
