Both Emicida shows at Jazz Cafe on 1 October are now sold out.

Star of Netflix documentary AmarElo, Emicida has emerged as a true Brazilian music contender over the last year following the release of his breakout É Tudo Pra Ontem, with the participation of Gilberto Gil.  These are his first London shows in four years.

One of the hottest rappers in Brazil over the last 10 years, Emicida comes to London as part of his ‘AmarElo’ Europe Tour.

Performing off the back of his massively successful concert documentary of the same name, he calls his AmarElo project a ‘social experiment’. The album, inspired by Brazilian poetry, the idea of emotional and spiritual maturity and the idea of unity through love creates a style he coins ‘Neo-samba’.

Known across Brazil and beyond for his freestyling prowess and impressive rap-battle track record, the São Paulo MC has emerged as one of the country’s most influential cultural figures, speaking and rapping candidly about Afro-Brazilian identity and the social climate in his homeland.
