Biography

Jonas Rocha, known artistically as Joutro Mundo, is a prominent figure in Rio de Janeiro's electronic scene. His career took off starting in 2012, when he began gaining recognition as a DJ and producer. Joutro Mundo stood out for his ability to fuse disco, Brazilian sounds, and nu-disco, creating a unique sound that he describes as "dance music with a Brazilian face." This approach established him as a reference in the Brazilian edits and nu-disco scene, both nationally and internationally.

Throughout his career, Joutro Mundo has collaborated with various artists and labels, consolidating his presence in the music market. He has released works with British labels like Midnight Riot Records as well as Brazilian record labels like Barefoot Music and international labels such as Spa in Disco and Editorial Records. His productions frequently include reworks of Brazilian disco and boogie classics, demonstrating a deep appreciation for the country's musical roots.

In addition to his musical career, Jonas Rocha is also known for his involvement in projects aimed at cultural preservation. He is the founder of a project dedicated to preserving the chants of South American indigenous tribes, seeking to bring these traditions closer to contemporary music. This initiative has resulted in works like the album "Inú" with Xiti Nukini and the CD "Cantos Yawanawá", which earned him the "Funarte de Música Brasileira" award. His music, often inspired by the Amazon and its peoples, reflects this connection with Brazilian culture.
