I'm Arícia Mess, a Brazilian singer-songwriter who also produces and performs this selection of music. I present this radio show in Brazilian Portuguese, tell some stories about the artists and create a dialogue between Brazilian music and the music I hear around the world. Sometimes I talk a bit about Yoruba culture, candomble, a bit about astrology... I recorded these episodes for a Brazilian online radio station a few years ago. I decided to present them to you here because I'm in love with them... I hope you enjoy them! Let me know what you think...
" Queen of psyco-quilombolas, radical Batuques...Afro-shock-chic."
"Brazilian with righteous black pride, Arícia sings in praises of the natural forces of womanhood, notably the Afro-Brazilian woman."
