Pó de Guaraná

Berimbaus on fire. Afro-brazilian percussion. Tight beats and the dubbie-jamaican-brazilian rap-melody by Laylah Arruda. That's Pó de Guaraná, main track by Xaxim from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Berimbau is the instrument for the practice of the afro-brazilian martial art Capoeira. Xaxim is a giant fern. Its energy inspires Dudu Marote, producer of unique acts on the brazilian music market since the 90s like BaianaSystem and Skank; and Fabiao Soares, creative director for events like the visual projections of opening ceremony of Rio Olympics 2016. Laylah Arruda loves to sing on sound systems and is founder of the Feminine Hi Fi label.
