Nyron Higor

Born in Maceio, Higor's latest work is rooted in the traditions of Northeastern Brazilian
music and golden- era MPB. Within the peaceful surroundings of his home, Higor
weaves these roots together with global influences and contemporary production
techniques, for a uniquely dreamlike vision of hope. Following the success of his self
released debut Fio de Lamina--an instrumental record of delicately balanced rhythmic
and harmonic patterns, which earned support from tastemakers like Mr. Scruff, Gilles
Peterson, and John Gomez. Higor's new album is a move towards a more expansive,
lyrical exploration of transcendence and triumph. As Higor explains, "This album is a
test of resistance and a big event in my life as a young Black man from the Northeast
and coming from a humble background, financially speaking, its context is political."
