Tapioca is a Brussels-based, Brazil-inspired duo made of rapper / lyricist Le Tagareland and producer / composer SiKa, who draw inspiration from rap, jazz, MPB and funk from the 70's and 80's. They symbolize a meeting of various musical currents which finds its origin in a common passion: the Brazilian culture and its wholly unique musical blend. The duos debut album “Voyage,” a genre-infused ode to freedom, arrives March 25th via Jakarta Records’ “Dubplates” series.

The first single is the stunningly beautiful "Move On,” which sways like a ship on the smoothest of seas or a pure ray of sonic sunshine.. The songs groove is laid-back and infectious, with bouncy synths, crisp percussion and blissful harmonies combining to a form a sound that bridges the duos musical universe. It’s a sound that will be on repeat into the warmer weather! Accompanying the single is the exquisite music vide, produced and directed by the worldly duo.

While the sound of the Belgian binomial is undeniably influenced by classical Brazilian musicians such as Marcos Valle, Simonal and Emilio Santiago or contemporary artists such as Anderson Paak., Mndsgn or D'Angelo, Tapioca breaks through the sonic clutter by proposing its own musical identity, so allow yourself to be transported by honest music that comes from the heart, or as Tapioca likes to call it, coração.
