I DJ and produce under the name Vivo and promote Brazilian nights in South West England - for more info on my Brazilian Parties check out the website
The best way I can describe the music I love is for you to use your ears instead of your eyes and listen to the demo below
DJ VIVO DEMO - THIS IS NOT A DJ MIX and is instead short clips from a selection of tracks to give you an idea of my style and taste :)
I love Brazilian and world music but also love any music that creates a non pretentious atmosphere that is fun, friendly, vibrant and brings a smile to the face!!!! I have a bag full of musical sunshine to warm up any party.
In summer 2007 I was lucky enough to volunteer with Afroreggae and Radio Active in Rio de Janeiro. I brought many of my passions together by teaching radio production, DJing and music editing for an amazing new internet radio station broadcasting from, parada de lucas, in the heart of the favela. Its an amazing project and you can find out more about this experience by checking out my pictures and blog on this page or by going to their site http://www.afroreggaedigital.com
Watch and listen to my latest single! I remixed an ancient Ottoman marching song, wicked! Supported by deejays like Gilles Peterson (UK - BBC), Pathaan (UK - BBC), Panjabi MC (UK/India), Gaetano Fabri (B), Buscemi (B) and more... Download at iTunes!

Hello!!! For those of you who are around Bristol tomorrow (Fri. 27 June) or Sat. 5 July check out the following concerts. Both are promised to be a unique experience. Brilliant musicianship combined with electrifying onstage presence. This is a rare opportunity to hear some of the best World Music awarded artists (…and lovely people)! To those who cannot make it, I wish you a very nice weekend and hopefully we’ll see you in another occasion. Click on the posters for more details on the Bands.
Still open for bands!!! One of Wales’ biggest and newest events, encompassing 2 days, 4 stages, 60 bands, and the capacity for 3000 people! The festival is for charity, with proceeds going partly to help projects in the local community and partly to help young musicians in the area, with advertising, their equipment, etc. The ethos is very much that it is run like a community, so people helping each other out rather to help cut down the exchange of cash. We aim to work with ethical companies, aim to actively promote both welsh music, and environmental issues and solutions. Check it out at www. thesquarefestival. com And get in touch for further details. admin@backbeating.co.uk or thesquarefestival@gmail.com
