Event Description

DJ Dolores (aka Helder Aragão) has been active in the ebullient musical scene of his hometown Recife since his collaboration with Mangue Beat originators Chico Science and Nação Zumbi in the late ‘80s. He then worked as a graphic designer, TV documentary producer, soundtrack composer for films and theatre before adopting the turntables and sampler as a means of expression. He has remixed tracks for Gilberto Gil & Tribalistas. He burst onto the global club scene a couple of years ago with his explosive and highly original mixture of traditional sounds from the Brazilian northeast with dancefloor-friendly electronics and elements of rock and dub.

DJ Dolores’s performance is brought to you by Brasil Summerfest, one of the most popular summer festivals in the city, which hosts about 9,000 people during a week of diverse celebration: samba, forro, bossanova, maracatu, manguebeat, hip-hop & baile funke among others.
