Cibelle at MuLiMob Event
Cibelle has come a long way since the release of her 2003 debut album, which had established her as one of the most imaginative and original young artists to come out of Brazil. Deeply involved in sound research, and true to the motto of the Anthropophagists (the 1920s arts movement which inspired several generations of artists in her native country - Tropicalia to name but one), she’s been absorbing sounds and ideas from all over to create her own, even more personal brew. Cibelle likes to use her life as a lab, and claims to be the hamster and the scientist all at once…
Now based in London, Cibelle is currently producing her new album (due out in April 2006), along with a couple of co-producers including Mike Lindsay (from UK folktronica act Tunng), Apollo Nove, and guests such as Seu Jorge (of ‘City Of God’ and ‘The Life Aquatic’ fame) and CocoRosie collaborator Spleen. The album features acoustic instrumentation and electronic processing, noise guitars and children’s toys, textural soundscapes and pure melodies carried by her unmistakable voice.
This Wednesday at the MuLiMob Event in London, Cibelle will be showing us yet another aspect of her multi-faceted personality, as she’ll be playing an eclectic DJ set of exotica, swing, cabaret & assorted oddities.
Meanwhile you may watch this video extracted from Cibelle‘s “About A Girl EP” Dualdisc, which includes 4 new songs on the audio side and 4 videos on the DVD side.
