Tropa Macaca

Booking Agent | Europe + UK:
Afonso Simões - afonso@filhounico.com

Tropa Macaca is André Abel and Joana da Conceição, based out of Lisbon. They believe their poetic music has its own self, its own dynamism. It comes from a direct ontology and through it are forces that manifest themselves that transcend the circuits of a knowing. In other words by other people, creators of “truly mysterious music made for and by adventurous, vibrating people” (Daniel Lopatin) or masters of “shape-shifting, shut-in tekno sculptures” (Low Company). Their records have been published by imprints such as Siltbreeze, Software and The Trilogy Tapes, as well as self-released. They have performed live in Brazil, Europe and the UK, and been presenting original aesthetic proposals in venues such as Passos Manuel, Lux Frágil, Serralves, Cafe Oto, Fylkingen, MAMbo, Stadslimiet, Salon des Amateurs and MK Gallery.
