“Aquecimento" dives into Brazil’s widely eclectic and regional Electronic / Baile Funk music scene with Producer/DJ VHOOR. The show connects the past and present while providing hints to the future, highlighting the bubbling underground community, and providing a platform for a more diverse array of artists to be exposed to a worldwide audience.
Initially heading up Calgary band Women, Patrick Flegel began performing and writing music in drag as Cindy Lee in the early 2010s, coinciding with their debut solo long player "Tatlashea". Their music – which tackles themes of personal struggle, spirituality and love with a tender frankness – sounds like pop thats been run through the ringer. Dissonance marries harmony in tightly written songs inspired by the musicality and aesthetics of a misremembered bygone era.
