Pequi Tape presents
Artists.
Four ways of turning memory, place and language into music.
Moda de viola
Anatálio & Sábia
Brothers from rural Goiás, Anatálio leads on viola and first voice; Sábia, Joaquim's childhood nickname, answers on acoustic guitar and harmony. Together, they turn family memories and the cerrado into new moda de viola songs.

Sample pop
Zeca Pixel
Zeca Pixel turns everyday sounds from Goiás into sample pop: Brazilian funk drums, arrocha swing, digital fragments and a bright voice that sounds as though it escaped from a phone message.

Saudade-hop
Seerp
Seerp turns the distance between Brazil and the Netherlands into saudade-hop: instrumental beats, bossa and MPB harmony, nylon-string guitar, Rhodes and rain against the window.

Aura phonk
VULTO
VULTO is a masked figure in Brazilian aura phonk, built from distorted 808s, melodic cowbell, echoes of baile and a cold Portuguese voice.
