Branko

Branko is at the epicenter of contemporary Portuguese music. With his new album, “Soma”, producer, composer, DJ and visionary João Barbosa (Branko) has challenged himself to raise the bar even higher. The new album is the result of in-depth study, research, travel and production, where the artist presents his versatile universe of musical composition. Branko invited musicians into the studio to add harmonies and melodies to his productions.    For “Soma”, Branko traveled between Lisbon, London and Rio de Janeiro. “Nuvem” (feat. BIAB), ‘Agenda’ (feat. Bryte), ‘Found My Way’ (feat. Carla Prata) and ‘Slide’ (feat. Jay Prince) are some of the tracks on the new album.    Branko brings musicians on stage to accompany him, in what is an exercise in recreating the atmosphere of his latest album on stage. The artist, with “Soma”, has already performed all over Portugal, and also on international stages such as London, Amsterdam, Manchester, Berlin, Copenhagen and Gothenburg, among others. A different chapter begins for the founder of the unmissable Buraka Som Sistema, curator of festival line-ups across Europe, as well as the acclaimed TV show Club Atlas. Branko has been the focal point of an identity sound that is increasingly breaking down barriers.
