Max de Castro

Max de Castro "just might be the most original musical talent to have come out of Brazil in three decades" claims Time Magazine. The reasoning is as simple as it is convincing: Max de Castro "blends disparate genres — samba, bossa nova, drum 'n' bass, hip-hop and soul — into futuristic music that echoes the past." He delivers poems to fit a hip-hop beat, paraphrases classical popular music, for example by Baden Powell, recites, and modifies — a true magician of sound.
