As a Black and peripheral artist from the outskirts of Rio De Janeiro, Caxtrinho draws on Afro-Brazilian rhythms, psychedelic textures and a percussive guitar style that transforms samba into sonic protest. His music reflects life at the margins: noir-toned, emotionally charged and rich with social critique. Adding contemporary chaos to bossa nova nostalgia, Caxtrinho’s music recreates a turbulent chronicle of everyday struggle, told through intricate rhythms, distorted guitar licks and radical poetry.
