BEIJO

Everything is movement. The voice is a dance, the music of the body. It is through dance, Gnawa hymns and Sudanese slave songs that Beijo's original music emerges. The singing of tribal ceremonies, normally performed by men, is here carried by a female voice which, associated with Portuguese lyrics and Brazilian rhythms, awakens a sense of identity and freedom. Thanks to their voices and their instruments, the dancers weave between them a delicate bond, unsubdued to the shackles of time, culture, geography and genre.
