Boogarins 5/16 at UFO Factory
Fernando "Dino" Almeida and Benke Ferraz began playing music together as teenagers in the central Brazilian city of Goiânia recording psychedelic pop in their parents' gardens, filtering their country's rich musical history through a very modern lens. The group's debut LP, As Plantas Que Curam, was a decidedly lo-fi home recording pieced together in isolation, before the pair had recruited a proper rhythm section or played a single gig. By the time the album was released in late 2013 on Other Music Recording Co., Boogarins were already developing a name around Goiânia, and soon after, the now-expanded band was booking regular gigs in São Paulo and across the country. The last two years have seen Boogarins on the road continually they toured internationally for nearly six months behind their debut, playing American and European festivals from Austin Psych Fest to Burgerama to Primavera, and headlining clubs from London to Paris to Barcelona to New York, and performing alongside many great artists around the world. Back home, where most young groups sing in English like the popular American and British indie bands everyone listens to, Boogarins spoke directly to their Brazilian audience literally and figuratively with their Portuguese-sung rock and roll rooted in the traditions of Tropicalismo but nurtured in contemporary global music culture. Without any proper label support or PR in their own homeland, As Plantas Que Curam crossed into broader consciousness in Brazil, topping many fan and critic lists, with the group dubbed 'Best New Artist' in mainstream outlets like Rolling Stone Brazil and on powerhouse GloboTV's annual music awards show, and becoming a major live draw across the country.
