Download Rodrigo Amarante - Mon Nom
Best known for his work with Los Hermanos and Little Joy, his mellifluous sounds maintain a deep route in his home culture, while reaching out into the realms of electronic soundscapes that take in and soothe the soul.
This is his latest track from Cavalo, his debut full-length album. For those who don’t speak French, don’t fear – his dynamic sound transcends the language he's singing in. For those who do, you’ll enjoy a rich lyricism which considers what it is to have roots and what it means to be lost in a foreign place.
Want to see him live? He can be found playing with Angel Oslen at the following venues (and not all his songs are in French!):
Tonight - 22/09 Brudenell Social Club, Leeds (UK)
23/09 Gorilla, Manchester (UK)
24/09 The Cluny, Newcastle (UK)
25/09 Electric Ballroom, London (UK)
