Alcides Neto 🔥🔥🔥

Alcides Neto 🔥🔥🔥

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Amu, the debut album from the Naarm-based, Brazilian jazz musician Alcides Neto.

Written in stages over several years, Amu began to take shape during lockdown and culminated with the final piece in early 2023. Each track carries its own imprint, with each song anchored in a shared source of inspiration. Growing up in the countryside of São Paulo state, Brazil, the landscapes, rhythms and memories quietly guided the music. For Alcides, music is central to his identity, practicing allows him to stay connected to himself and as a migrant, to his community.

Tune in all this week to hear tracks from Amu, and check out this week's full list of PBS Feature Sounds on our website: pbsfm.org.au/news/alcides-neto-amu
