"Dub Canina" unites three complementary forces from Brazil’s Northeast: Mestra Penha, a Paraíba tradition-bearer and standout zabumba player raised in a family of cirandeiros and coquistas; ZEBB, an ethnomusicologist, DJ, and producer whose research and practice center on “Subgrave Nordestino” and the dialogue between experimental electronics and traditional Brazilian forms; and FurmigaDub (Fabiano Formiga), a UFPB‑trained multi‑instrumentalist known for fusing Paraíba’s popular culture with electronic aesthetics and for a steady presence at major Brazilian music and electronic festivals in both DJ and live formats.
The single combines dub’s sound‑system sensibility (deep sub‑bass, spacious delays) with northeastern Brazilian traditions—ciranda call‑and‑response, coco de roda rhythms, and aboio‑style verses—fronted by Penha’s distinctive Portuguese‑language vocal and live zabumba. Strong fit for global bass, dub/reggae crossover, Brazilian regional/roots, and leftfield electronic playlists; useful tags and filing: Brazil (Paraíba), ciranda, coco, dub, bass, electronic, traditional/folk.
