Branko is a musician, DJ, co-founding member of the Buraka Som Sistema collective, and label curator of Enchufada. João Barbosa is deeply involved in bringing the sound of underground Portuguese (speaking) electronic music to a global audience. Since his formative years growing up in the city of Amadora, Barbosa dedicated his career to elevating the unique club music hybrids–mutations of kuduro, kizomba, zouk, baile funk and more that were spreading in the communities around him. On his 2015 debut album ‘ATLAS’ he presented a Lisbon-focused global music perspective while connecting artists from all over the world, from Zebra Katz to Princess Nokia, Nonku Phiri to Mayra Andrade. Introducing Soma, the fourth and latest solo album by Branko: recorded in Lisbon over a three-day jam session, where he challenged some of the most critical Lisbon based musicians to improvise over a rhythmic framework.
