Biography

Baru Sonoro is a Brazilian musical collective that emerged in 2015, known for its "organic music, analog poetry." The group gained attention for its innovative approach to music creation, particularly during periods of isolation, where they produced work remotely.

Their song "O Caminho do Vento (Wind Sizzling)" exemplifies their artistic vision, blending traditional sounds with contemporary elements. This track was not only a musical endeavor but also a videoclipe produced by Mateus Sizilio, who also handled the musical production. The project received recognition and was contemplated by the Prêmio RespirArte from Funarte, an initiative aimed at promoting art and cultural diversity across Brazil. The music itself draws inspiration from ancestral wisdom, aiming for universality and decoloniality, characteristic of the world music genre.

The collective's members have showcased a diverse range of instrumentation, including guitar, bujãodrums, sitar, drums, percussion, flute, and didgeridoo. The videoclipe for "O Caminho do Vento" also featured collaborators in image capture, further expanding the project's reach. Baru Sonoro's work reflects a deep connection to nature and a philosophical exploration of themes like memory, change, and universal interconnectedness.
