On today’s very special episode of Songmess we are sitting down with Brazilian singer-songwriter, guitarist and music festival organizer, Labq. An unusually soothing and pensive conversation for Songmess, today’s episode touches on the wild diversity of Brazilian music, the country’s unfolding political turmoil, the rise of feminist movements and the remarkable mainstream visibility of queer and trans artists.

PLaylist: Labaq + Phoro + Fran Czek, Bienvenidos a La Computadora + Camila Vaccaro + Fármacos, Clarice Falcão, Bruna Mendez, Juana Molina, Baco Exu do Blues, Sofia Freire and Pongo.
