Dolores Nordeste Mixed Tape

Sonoridade host and producer Béco Dranoff is commissioning leading Brazilian music producers and DJ’s to create special mixed tapes to be featured on Sonoridade throughout 2016. For this episode, Béco’s distinguished guest is the producer, DJ, and musical researcher DJ Dolores (Hélder Aragão).

Dolores has performed live and DJ’d at prestigious global music events such as Glastonbury, Womad, Copenhagen Jazz, Cactus, Art Rock, Sphinx, Montreal Jazz Festival, Paleo, and Roslkilde.
