Sun City from Babo Moreno by BABO MORENO
A vibrant dedication to his first journey to Salvador, Brazil. As a second-generation Brazilian raised in London, Babo was deeply involved in Brazilian carnival music, yet hadn’t experienced its roots firsthand. Visiting Salvador at 28 became a profound homecoming. Drawing on the Afro-Brazilian rhythm of ijexá, the track channels the spiritual and celebratory energy of the city. It features a powerful talking drum performance by Paul Gomou and a soaring saxophone solo from Tamar Osborn, weaving together tradition and personal transformation into a rich, rhythmic tribute.

This isn’t just hype around Brazilian music. Babo Moreno’s music is an expression of conflict, pride and connection to identity. The articulation of a youth spent in London, surrounded by musicians from all over the world. A deeply personal bid to push for other second generation musicians, from Brazil and beyond, to express themselves and be represented.
