Afro-Brazilian percussion meets modular synths and bold rap in the music of fast-rising hip-hop star Karol Conka. Emerging from Brazil’s underground, Conka’s enviable flow and booming sound have seen her lauded across the globe. Conka mixes the raw, African sounds of north-eastern Brazil with beats provided by Nave, Brazil’s answer to Timbaland.

Eschewing politically charged lyrics in favour of rhymes about happiness and self-esteem delivered in her native Portuguese, Conka has managed to create a sound that is entirely her own. Don’t miss this mind-blowing new talent.
