At the forefront of a rising wave of Brazilian artists captivating international audiences, Nyron Higor brings a quiet yet potent sense of wonder to his new self-titled album.

Born in Maceio, Higor's latest work is rooted in the traditions of Northeastern Brazilian music and golden- era MPB. Within the peaceful surroundings of his home, Higor weaves these roots together with global influences and contemporary production techniques, for a uniquely dreamlike vision of hope. Following the success of his self released debut Fio de Lamina--an instrumental record of delicately balanced rhythmic and harmonic patterns, which earned support from tastemakers like Mr. Scruff, Gilles Peterson, and John Gomez. Higor's new album is a move towards a more expansive, lyrical exploration of transcendence and triumph. As Higor explains, "This album is a test of resistance and a big event in my life as a young Black man from the Northeast and coming from a humble background, financially speaking, its context is political."
 
Taking his demos and unfinished tracks to Sao Paulo, Higor worked alongside friends and collaborators from Brazil's vibrant contemporary music scene-- including fellow Maceioense artists Bruno Berle, Batata Boy, and New York- based Brazilian vocalist Alici Sol--assembling a rich musical landscape and a cutting edge development on the musical world from which he emerges. This album is a testament to the timeless themes that defne Higor's artistry, as well as his creative drive to overcome the obstacles he faces. Conveying his feelings of jubilance for his work, Higor notes, "This work is liberating, contemplative and victorious!" Each track invites the listener to experience the raw intimacy, the joy and longing, and the otherworldly ingenuity of Brazilian music, which seems to endlessly keep us coming back for more.
