Saturno Santos' Something

A radiant 9-piece ensemble led by Gabriel de Oliveira, drawing together multicultural expressions from young voices versed in languages of jazz, pop, and folk traditions - all with a collective punk ethos.
With genuine magical thinking and the intent of exploring the in-betweens of songwriting and improvisation, they cast explosive grooves and subtle melodies into a bright-colored ritual.

KB's performing core, hosted by gabriel de oliveira and Niels Luteijn in a drums-guitar-guest rotating setting. With a mixed emo/afro/impro approach, the duo’s Brazilian and Caribbean references take on a hardcore edge, coded through languages of instant composition and pop culture.
