Arnaldo Antunes

“For 10 days I’ve been listening to your music nonstop,” wrote Marisa Monte to Arnaldo Antunes. No wonder: after his concerts, thousands want to do that. He was one of the three Tribalistas, along with Carlinhos Brown and the diva Marisa Monte. This tribe has its own hymns: voice, sampler, electric and acoustic guitars, bass, and drums fuse with the sounds of a percussion contraption made of plastic, wood, and iron in an inspiring sound-poetry pop.
