Daniel Lucas AKA Pigmalião

Pigmalião is the result of experiments on merging Latin American regional and roots references with specific sounds from other parts of the world. Pigmalião is the materialization of the reference acquis from the label Frente Bolivarista and remains in constant transformation alongside the label release narrative.

Frente Bolivarista has made a stellar rise over the past year to be one of the labels to watch for the future of Latin America music. The label has dug deep with many compilations, releasing names such as Captain Planet (USA), Thomash (DE), Montoya (CO), El Búho (NL), Akimbo (GB), Carrot Green (BR), Quixosis (EC) and others.
Brazilian musical legacy has always seemed somewhat set apart from the rest of the continent but the label, alongside the growing links between booming São Paulo and Buenos Aires, Quito or Lima shows that the tide is changing. It is indeed the becoming, and going even further than, the musical version of Bolivar’s dream: a global collaboration of new, inter infected, border hopping sounds shaping the future of Latin American music.

Thanks to Matanza, Kurup, UMOJA JAJA and M.Rux, Pananueva, Aline Baiana Cavalcanti, Viveylate for the inspiration.

VOODOOHOP is an outlandish art collective born from a series of underground parties and is now a striking artistic movement in Brazil. Through 6 years of collaborative events, Voodoohop has gathered a myriad of artists from different disciplines with the likes of Djs, live performers, dancers and visual artists. Together they have created a multi sensory tropical cabaret, mixing colourful and exuberant visuals, combined with elements of Brasilian traditional heritage and ritualistic performance. Nomadic in nature, the collective has transformed spaces ranging from abandoned buildings to natural hideaways. Always experimenting with different media and formats, Voodoohop is in constant flux.
