Curio Curio bring together Rio-born singer Luiza Monteiro and German producer Dustin Braun for a debut shaped by Brazilian MPB, psychedelic disco and analogue studio experimentation. Influenced by Gal Costa, Jorge Ben Jor, Say She She and Bala Desejo, the duo balance samba rhythms, cosmic boogie and introspective songwriting with ease.
Luiza’s lyrics explore identity, belonging and life between Brazil and Europe, while Braun’s tape-saturated production gives the record a warm, tactile feel. Highlights include the infectious ‘Bem Querer’ and the cosmic groove of ‘Vem pra Casa’.
A confident debut that treats Brazilian musical traditions as something fluid, contemporary and constantly evolving.
