Recife 19

Description

Recife 19: DJ Dolores' latest intense and generous albumBorn in Aracaju in northeastern Brazil, DJ Dolores (real name Helder Aragão) belonged to the Punk movement. In 1986, he moved to Recife to study art, architecture, and design. He was struck by the cultural vitality of this city, embroiled in the Mangue Beat movement, a cultural melting pot that mixes reggae, rap, rock, and electro sounds with traditional local music. Helder, among the leaders of this movement, finally emerged as DJ Dolores in 2002, with his first album "Contraditoria?" on Sterns. Today, after various collaborations, albums, and concerts around the world, he returns with "Recife 19," an album that offers a radical commentary on our uncertain times without disavowing the musical traditions of the Northeast.
