EXTRAVAGANZA TROPICAL HEDONISTIC NOMAD
This cultural project invites you to transcendence, blending folklore with musical experience. These sons of nomadism, display sounds and aesthetics that go from the eccentricity of remote cultures to the most metropolitan subversions.
Since 2013, this project developed by the brazilian artists Denny Azevedo and Ricardo Don, it’s become a platform for “itinerant cultural movement”, creating happenings, performance, installations, graphic and multimedia arts, about migrations, sexual diversity or urban exploration. The goal of their works is renewing and restructuring cultural symbols, through synesthesia and hedonism, interacting with the audience.
Musically they offer a sonic journey through myths and rythms from every continent, resulting in a global-bass cultural patchwork, which leads to a sensitive experience of collective catharsis, giving the audience the role of “collective interpreter” instead of simple witness.
Cultural agitators at Brazilian scenario, they’ve been involved in the most important street festivals, as Virada Cultural de Sao Paulo & Belo Horizonte and SP NA RUA (Indie Culture Month Festival in Sao Paulo). They are responsable for the itinerant festival “Giramundo”. They’ve also joined to the street Carnival Parade and holden more than 50 editions of their performance/party, always in unusual and historical venues, trough their concept of “ephemeral urban oasis”.
Constantly creating cultural interchange, the duo’s split its year between Brazil & Europe. Taking their project to Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Germany, Belgium & Croatia, playing in festivals like Fusion Festival (DE), Goulash Disko (CR), Suma Beach (TK), Festival de Verão de Salvador (Bahia/Brazil), Festival BR135 (Maranhão/Brasil), Etnosur (Spain, where they won the 2015 DJ award), Festes de Gracia and Festival Visual Brasil (Barcelona /Spain).
Nowadays, they’ve started an authorial music project as partners to the catalan producer Miret.

EXTRAVAGANTE, TROPICAL, HEDONISTA, NOMADE
¡VENGA-VENGA! convida à transcendência, misturando o folclórico ao experimental. Filhos do nomadismo, sua sonoridade e estética transita desde a excentricidade de culturas remotas até subversões mais metropolitanas.
Iniciado em 2013, o projeto dos artistas brasileiros Denny Azevedo e Ricardo Don, é hoje um movimento cultural itinerante, criando happenings, festivais de arte, dj-set, performances, instalações, foto e vídeo que, com linguagem ritualística, dialogam com migrações, diversidade sexual e redescoberta do espaço urbano. A base do trabalho é resgatar e ressignificar símbolos culturais de origens diversas que, agregadas ao hedonismo e sinestesia, interagem com o público em “comoções estéticas”, sempre associando-se a diversos outros artistas.
Musicalmente, buscam promover uma viagem sonora evocando ritmos e mitos de varias partes do mundo, em várias épocas. O resultado é um patwork identitário costurado de Bass Globalisado que incentiva a experiência sensorial e a catarse coletiva, abrindo espaço para o publico como um “performer coletivo”.
