Asfixia Social // Renee Stormz // HERchester

Brazil, vibrant with life, is under the far right control of Jair Bolsonaro and his coetrie of sycophants and psychopaths. You might be well aware of the destruction being wrought upon the rain forests this very second. But do you know the name Marielle Franco, beloved human rights advocate, murdered by a right wing death squad? Or Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, popular left wing ex-president kept out of the Bolsonaro election in an anti corruption drive spear headed by Segio Moro, supposed anti corruption hero, now the revealed by The Intercept, to be a common crook?

So much of importance to our planet is happening right now in Brazil and though we can feel powerless, we can draw attention to the situation and say…”Yes—we have noticed. Yes—we stand with you.”

Joining us for a night of music which sees the problem we have:

ASFIXIA SOCIAL
Since 2007 on the road, Asfixia Social have performed hundreds of shows in Brazil and abroad, having released 2 CDs and 2 DVDs – live in São Paulo and live in Cuba, becoming one of the most active independent bands of Brazil.

From the energetic shows to the intense activism, the band caught the attention of the public and media to the originality of their sound and mix between rap, punk, brazilian music, ska, dub, hardcore, jazz, reggae, funk, metal and lyrics that portray the daily life of the group in the outskirts of São Paulo – Brazil.

RENEE STORMZ
Renee has been rapping since a youth and for her, it is a way of life. She loves to tell stories in her music, and this is reflected by a very old school approach to MCi’ing. For her, the poetry is everything, the inspiration, the reason.

HERCHESTER
7 strong all female collective,HERchester have been grabbing attention for their rhymes and beats, married to an intense social conscience. A group that’s really demanding attention and respect…catch them on this evening of recognition.
