Roda de Santo (2025)
Through layers of percussion, voice and electronics, Roda de Santo expands the ancestral songs of Afro-Brazilian religions - cantigas de terreiro - weaving them with original compositions. Rooted in this diasporic flow, the group embodies a process of cultural continuity and transformation, honouring the spiritual and communal dimensions of Afro-Brazilian culture while resonating with new audiences across borders. In the syncretic tradition of Umbanda (where African, Indigenous and Catholic cosmologies intertwine), Roda de Santo finds its essence: music as invocation, as resistance, and as celebration of the many voices that inhabit the circle.
