My music and my project consist of what I like to call "instrumental singing" in Brazilian popular music. It aims to strengthen and encourage singing in elaborate instrumental contexts and yet keep it interesting and attractive to different audiences because of the engaging rhythms of Brazilian popular music and its "accessible sophistication"

Combined sensitivity and power is the detail that distinguishes what is only beautiful from what is really sublime in artistic creation. Laercio Schwantes aka L_cio, as an instrumentalist and sweet flute player, managed to arrive at this synthesis in an exceptional way, being one of the most fascinating exponents of Brazil. Singular as a complete author, composing and producing all his musical journeys.
Journeys that go through the instigating contrast of its rhythmic-melodic complexity with the simplicity of its being. It is celebrated by the most demanding listeners and adored by the most fervent dancefloors, being simple to understand how it stands out in festivals like Dekmantel (São Paulo), DGTL (São Paulo), Mysteryland (Chile), Les Escales (France), two editions of Time Warp Brasil and two editions of Rock in Rio, besides appearing consistently in the booths of German institutions such as Salon Zu Wilden Renate, Robert Johnson and also animating global audiences in their three appearances in the Boiler Room Brasil. We present your Live in Beijing and Shanghai in China.
The charms of his music drove him to different places and took him across Europe, reaching countries like France, Malta, Lithuania and the catalog of labels like DOC, Soul Clap, Live At Robert Johnson, Perlon, Exploited, Steyoyoke, Get Physical , Archipel (Canada) and Mamba Negra Records (Mambarec) as well as helped him to profoundly transform the independent scene that nurtured him and explore the city that created him.
He had the privilege of being the only artist to make a remix authorized by Chico Buarque, an icon of Brazilian popular music. The work: “Construction 1971”. In 2018, he released his
1st album on D.O.C Records, entitled “Poema”, considered one of the albums of the year by Bravo magazine.
In his native São Paulo, L_cio is the centerpiece of the local scene, a well-known supporter of street culture, resident of innovative urban organizations such as Carlos Capslock, promoter of equality and universal access to culture. He is also the creator and curator of Akt (Party focused on Live Acts). Together with Tessuto he is the owner of the MEMNTGN records distributed by Kompakt. Tireless not only in a fruitful musical activity, but in the dissemination and promotion of the best values that it contains.
During this journey, he established partnerships (collaborations and remixes) with producers such as Patrice Baumel, Portable, Francesco Tristano, Nicola Cruz, Joyce Muniz, Blancah, Wehbba. In addition to the Techno circuit, L_cio also produced, remixed and collaborated with artists such as Lia Paris, Pablo Vittar, Filipe Massumi and André Nardi and was a member and founder of Teto Preto band.
And it is for such factors, among many others, that it is impossible not to be enchanted when we follow a career as solidly promising as his, in which artistic evolution and development are so closely intertwined. Or better yet, be part of it.

A CA born 1st generation American, Alexander was raised on "sonati" folk Persian music. Classically trained by Vahid-Reza Bayat in the lineage of Maestro Darvish-Khan and Maestro Lotfi.
Alexander uses the foundations of Persian music "Radif" modal systems and with his distinguished sound, uniquely incorporates them with electronic soundscapes to induce trance states and a deep sense of heart presence in listeners. These ancient modal systems and melodies are a science of the heart, which Alexander hopes to continue introducing to western ears. 
The Persian Tar is a Spiritual tool. His music has become his Yoga (union), and with nicknaming his instrument "Tara", has established himself in "TaraYoga".

Com o pé nas raízes brasucas e a cabeça viajando pelo mundo todo, o som dessa banda abraça a todos e a troca de energia é intensa. Formada por: Beibi (Zabumba e vocal), Virgulino (Sanfona), Diego (Triângulo), Rafinha (Cavaco), Matheus (Contrabaixo) e Maicon (Percussão e voz).
