Brazil — 2026Playlist / CountryDemo

New Brazilian independent music

Brazil is too big to fit into a single centre. This selection looks beyond the usual axis and finds post-punk in Recife, psychedelic guitarrada in Belém and bedroom shoegaze in Curitiba.

Why this playlist?

Because the internet didn't end geography: it only changed who gets heard. These artists record where they live and don't plan to move.
