I am delighted to participate of this collective show at the Vitra Design Museum (17.03. – 09.09.2018), with four images from my "Tecnobrega - the religion of soundmachines" series that are now part of the collection of the Museum.
O Crocodilo - (the crocodile) took a major space in the Tecnobrega scene since 2014. Its DJ's tend to play the "press„o" style, more funk carioca and raggaton style and less melody than other machines : the croco is one of the favourite "aparelhagem" of the Youth of BelÈm,
Tupinamba Saudade is the last of the Tubinamba soudmachines - soundmachine. All the native americans that lived in the region when the portugueses arrived at the XVIth century. The owner, DJ Dinho, is proud of his indigenous roots. The machine was created by Marcelo "Projesom" - one of the most talented craftman of the state of Pará.
