BIXIGA 70 *live

In the organizer's words:

Bixiga 70 translates the urban pulse of São Paulo into a global big band sound: a vibrant mesh of Afrobeat, cumbia, funk, spiritual jazz and Brazilian rhythms that is deeply rooted in tradition and at the same time has its sights set firmly on the future. Founded in 2010, the name Bixiga 70 refers to the address of Estúdio Traquitana, where the band was formed - at Rua Treze de Maio no. 70 in the Bixiga district of São Paulo.

Since then, the collective has built up an international reputation by picking up on influences that are rarely heard in this form in Latin American bands: complex Malinke grooves from West Africa merge with arabesque organ motifs, brass-driven spiritual jazz meets cumbiarock and Gnawa echoes, while polyrhythmic percussion meets melodically flowing and powerful brass sections.

A special feature of the band is their collective composition principle, in which each member contributes equally to the development of the sound, which is mostly captured live in the studio in order to convey the energy and interplay of the recordings with maximum authenticity. This is the foundation for their incredible live shows, in which they combine the rhythms of samba, the free spirit of jazz, the infectious groove of funk and all their other influences to create a rousing big band sound. In doing so, they not only bring Brazil's iconic heritage to life, but also build transcontinental sound bridges. Ecstasy guaranteed.
