Invisible City Presents: Bárbara Boeing (Brazil)

Invisible City Presents: Barbara Boeing (Brazil / Toy Tonics) "It’s a common trope for us to grow up thinking the things in our immediate vicinity are somehow “uncool,” whether that be our teachers, our parents or the songs we hear on their choice of radio station. But for Curitiba-raised, Milan-based artist Bárbara Boeing, the discovery that this perceived uncool thing was actually, well, “the best music in the world,” would prove an indelibly important revelation for her life and career. That’s right, Bárbara Boeing, selector and DJ who is beloved for how she champions Brazilian music in her sets, didn’t start out being all that interested in the sounds of her home country. Today, 17 years into honing her craft, Bárbara’s colourful and uplifting DJ sets are always peppered with music from her homeland and across Latin America, and span everything from funk, soul, tropicalia, Balearic, house, breakbeat, synth pop, disco, Italo and more. In 2024, she will play at events like Gop Tun and Lost Village, while in recent years she’s appeared on the bill at some of dance music’s best festivals, such as Polifonic, Melt, Kala, Nuits Sonores, Time Warp in São Paulo, Listen, Lente Kabinet and Dekmantel Selectors." + Invisible City & Milch!
