MUSICALITY BEYOND YOUR EARS!ANTROPÓFAGOS is a multi-cultural band in every sense and like no other.It all began in Oslo in 2004 when brazilian singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Rafael Lemos met serbian guitarist and songwriter Janko Radovanovic. The band started performing regular and convincingly in 2005 when portuguese João Lobo took the drum throne and reached it?s best form so far with the inclusion of norwegian bassist Are W. Thoma in 2006.
The basic idea behind the name, the music and the attitude remotes to the 1920?s when a cultural movement called Movimento Antropofágico promoted the crossover of cultures and races existing in Brazil as the way to a creative development in peace.
As antropófago stands for cannibal, ANTROPÓFAGOS make musical cannibalism by assimilating and mixing rock, funk, ska and reggae with brazilian, balkan, portuguese and norwegian styles and sounds.
The different background that each of ANTROPÓFAGOS' members have and a common interest in experimenting, and combining their individual ideas results in an unique and vibrant music.
Their concerts vary from an acoustically grooving to an electrically powerfull experience that pleases all audiences.
The band has been playing extensively around Oslo, is getting general recognition and is quickly broadening it?s frontiers both inside and outside Norway. |
