ReFuturo Dub is an artistic collective in defense of life that, through music, poetry and attitudes, brings together collective power to leverage knowledge that boosts the critical awareness and social transformation.
A project born in 2021 that seeks to build a society that is the sea for human dignity in existing power and interpersonal relationships. We are multiple in colors and flavors, we represent the diversity present in the Brazilian historical and social formation. Blacks, indigenous peoples, LGBTQIA+ and PCDs, mixing all the existing artistic creativity in sounds and words, transforming and satisfying the hunger for culture, dignity and recognition.
ReFuturo Dub is a reflection of the experiences lived with Marcelo Yuka at the Observatório de Ecos. An immersion in the universe of developing techniques for creating sounds and assembling textures that aggregates the digital and analog beat values, and art flourishes from the soul and human relationships.
ReFuturo Dub is much more than a band. It is the manifestation of diversity, freedom and the right to life and social existence. It is about valuing inclusion. It is political-social awareness. It is sustainable survival. It is to transform the reality of the near future through a lot of good music and impactful
and representative actions.
A miscegenation of rhythms, ideas and sound. In which some of the main influences are Jazz, Reggae, Rap and Black Music. It will make you shake to the deep sound of the African drums of maestro FavelaMan, the unbelievable performance of Paulo Cellos on keyboards and bass, the “groovado” swing of Tico Zapata's drums, the heavy riffs of Júlia C. Motta and of course, of the powerful voice of the black, trans and peripheral vocalist, Alexia Pattrón.
Let's make the world greener together. Come to the ReFuturo Dub shows, pick up your ecological kit with native seeds, and be part of the change.
Good music is what we do!
ReFuturo Dub is Reggae and other things!
