The collaboration between Samuel Gapp and Brazilian Spoken Word artist Rodrigo Brandão explores the reciprocal relationships between several thematic zones: rupture and ritual in performance, transcultural practice, and the composition/improvisation dichotomy referring to both written and oral traditions.
Excerpt from Rodrigo Brandão’s biography:
The lyrical depth, the spiritual relationships between urban imaginary and African ancestry, in addition to a certain punk look, guide the particular universe of Rodrigo Brandão. Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, but currently living in Lisbon, Portugal, he has been wielding microphones and expressing himself artistically for over two decades.
