Adalu Magazine: Tradition and new Brazilian music a a heartbeat away.

Our magazine dives into the acoustic waters of Brazilian music culture and explores the latest sounds from the motherland that are fused with its global roots. 

Our mission is twofold: bringing the often marginalized traditional culture into the spotlight while also celebrating the blossoming of new Brazilian music. To preserve the legacy, we reveal the history and faces of rhythms that are often neglected in the current scene.

 

By exploring trends in music we can showcase the actual scene of innovation and creativity, without sacrificing the connection to the cultural roots that have shaped our unique soundscape. Instead of letting the old, traditional voices fade away, we want to record them, give them more space and pay tribute to them. We also cherish bringing on stage artists who are shaping contemporary Brazilian music. Through exclusive interviews and pre-published features, our sensitive curatorial team illuminates the treasure of our cultural heritage, merging it with the latest news from the music scene.

Join us in our universe of wisdom and exploration. Where the drums of the past throb directly into the here and now, fusing with the latest beats of the future.
