Video Description

Having long been considered the beating heart of cultural innovation in Brazil, Bahia’s unique cultural blend has resulted in a hotbed of localised sounds - from axé, afoxé and ijexá, through to more modern incarnations such a pagode, arrocha, and samba reggae. Rising from this melting pot, however, is Pagodão: an uptempo, soundsystem-ready take on the more romantic pagode rhythms, which integrates trap, baile funk, house, reggateon and hip hop to create music destined for the dancefloor. As part of Boiler Room x Ballantine's: Salvador, we’re celebrating this unique sound in its entirety. From stadium-filling pagode acts, to the most vibrant underground innovators, we’ll be welcoming Baiana System, O Kanalha and many more. ► Listen to Boiler Room’s archive on Apple Music: https://apple.co/BoilerRoom ► Shop Boiler Room clothing: https://blrrm.tv/shop ► Subscribe to Boiler Room: https://blrrm.tv/YT We do not make any money from YouTube ads.
