Saint Caboclo
Born and raised in Brazil, Lisbon-based artist Saint Caboclo (Circa A.D.) is a fresh new face and talent in town, whose influences spawn mostly from “bailes” (illegal / underground funk parties). Growing up, Saint saw bailes as an escape from the classist violence haunting Brazil, in which the marginalized communities had a voice and an opportunity for artistic expression. Heavily surrounded by this culture, Saint Caboclo vows to bring south-American rhythms under the spotlight as a way of properly promoting its richness and celebrating its diversity. As a DJ, he seeks an interesting fusion between genres, going from funk carioca and trap to hard club beats, which is a manifestation of his defiant character, as well as his desire to be an ambassador for queer representation in funk and hip-hop culture.
