To mark the staging of Sonar São Paulo on 11 and 12 May, the Barcelona version of the festival brings three of today's most exciting Brazilian artists to Sónar by Day: Psilosamples, Ricardo Donoso and Dago.

Ze Roló is a native of the province of Minas Gerais, and created the Psilosamples project to provide an outlet for the many ideas bubbling away inside his head. The result is extremely surprising and addictive, featuring highly personal music, in which textures play a key role, and which includes both the fertile tradition of Brazilian folklore and the latest types of contemporary production.

Although he was born in Rio de Janeiro, Ricardo Donoso has been living in Boston for several years, where he has become consolidated as a musician and established himself as a major player on the city's scene. Donoso is the man behind the drums in the death metal band Ehnahre and a member of the experimental duo Perispirit, and has attracted the attention of the most demanding ears with his first album, "Progress Chance", an excellent catalogue of cosmic atmospheres and retro-futuristic electronica that has earned rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic.

Meanwhile, Dago, the owner of Neu Club and the promoter and founder of the Avalanche Tropical collective, is one of the most dynamic DJs on the São Paulo scene, to which he has made a decisive contribution with many sessions and parties at the city's leading venues. His euphoric sessions are characterized by eclecticism in the best sense of the word (baile funk, uk bass, electro, cumbia) and a tropical atmosphere that fits in perfectly with his country's musical tradition.
