Formed in 2013 by Fernando de Almeida Filho (vocals and guitar), Benke Ferraz (guitar), Raphael Vaz (bass and keyboards), and Ynaiã Benthroldo (drums), Brazilian psychedelic rock band Boogarins announces a commemorative tour celebrating the ten-year anniversary of “Manual, ou Guia Livre de Dissolução dos Sonhos.” With concerts in Brazil and the United States, the band also announces future steps in this tour, bringing the special guest Adrian Quesada of Black Pumas for the Bandshell Beach Club Festival at the Miami Beach Bandshell, who is also collaborating with Boogarins on a new single set for release early this year. The psychedelic wave that permeates the aesthetics, music, and culture of the early 21st century gains, through Boogarins, the rare perspective of Brazil’s countryside. Goiânia—at the time a kind of off-center hub within the alternative music scene—was pulsating with independent festivals featuring artists from across the country. The experience of their hometown became the main foundation for the new possibility of Brazilian rock created by the band, drawing from classic influences (Milton Nascimento, Lô Borges, Beto Guedes, Tropicália, Os Mutantes) while remaining essentially contemporary.
