About:
A proud exponent of the São Paulo scene known for its subversive, alternative music underbelly, Naná Rizinni is a drummer, producer and composer who bridges improvisatory flavours with progressive electronics, Brazilian rhythms and expansive textures. Now based in London after making the move across continents in 2020, her new album ‘Epiblastʼ chronicles a journey of transformation, rebirth and personal evolution. The record will release digitally and on vinyl on Friday 24th April via Bridge The Gap.
Known in Brazil for her fluid, experimental approach to the confines of genre, her work has evolved from the alternative, post and garage rock textures of her early music into a hybrid, jazz-forward language rooted in rhythm, texture and improvisation.
That experimental edge has deepened with ‘Epiblast’. Written and co-produced with saxophonist and producer Mark Cake over the course of the last two years in London, the music sits somewhere between the synth-heavy sonics of The Comet Is Coming and future jazz of corto.alto, whilst nodding to the progressive fusion of jazz and electronics pioneered by other contemporary drummer-turned-producers like Mark Guiliana and Richard Spaven.
Nanáʼs musical journey began in the mid-2000s, studying with celebrated Brazilian drummers including Lilian Carmona, Vera Figueiredo, and Duda Neves. She has been a sought after drummer and producer in her home country ever since, touring and recording with numerous acclaimed artists including Tiê, Johnny Hooker, Ana Cañas, Barbara Eugênia and Thiago Pethit, releasing four solo albums and recording music for television, film and advertising. She has also performed at major international festivals including Lollapalooza, Rock in Rio, SXSW and Primavera Sound.
