Metá Metá

Biography

Metá Metá come from São Paulo, a city that they themselves describe as “acoustically schizophrenic”, and are considered the inventors of a new Brazilian music scene. Their style mixes the spiritual and rhythmic structures of Candomblé with influences that range from Afrobeat and Afrosamba to bebop and art rock. The result is a music that can be described as chaotic life-affirming Afropunk, noticeably influenced by musicians like The Stooges, Sonic Youth, John Coltrane and Sun Ra.
