Another guest post by Maga Bo: DJ, producer, and co-founder of Kafundó Records. In this post he gives us a little background on Neguedmundo whose track “Toca AÆ appears on the Kafundó Vol. 1 Compilation.Â
Born in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte and now based in São Paulo, Neguedmundo’s work is a mix of dub, global bass, hip-hop, dub and afro-beat with northeast brazilian music – coco, ciranda, forró and samba cabula. His lyrics focus on the roots of afro-brazilian identity, freedom and a concern with creating a better world for all.
A prolific collaborator, he has worked or performed with virtually all of the well-known sound systems around Brazil as MC and toaster. His first album, “Música de Preto,†a collaborative production by him, Gabriel Solto and Buguinha Dub, was released in 2007. Since then, his focus has been on live performances – both as an MC in the context of sound system culture, but also with live bands.
Here’s a clip from Neguedmundo’s performance in collaboration with Buguinha and Projeto Nave on Brazilian tv show, Manos e Minas:
