"Folk music textures with a chunky, percussive playing style that recalls Kiko's experience in the city's punk scene... vivid playing, with rhythmic, resonant thrums". PITCHFORK
"My alternative album of the week...outstanding from start to finish" GILLES PETERSON
"The muscular thrust and raw ferocity of Dinucci's playing convey a thoroughly visceral energy that reflects a world in turmoil...Dazzling" BANDCAMP
One of the most innovative artists working in contemporary Brazilian music, Kiko Dinucci offers an explosive take on 21st century Brazil, absorbing the lineage of Brazilian guitarists such as Dorival Caymmi, João Gilberto, Baden Powell - yet filters it through his uniquely 'punk' musical vision.
His style is raw - technically, he attacks the guitar strings, lyrically he explores Afro- Brazilian culture, slavery, Brazilian revolutionaries and candomblé.
