ABOUT
When you walk through underground stations around the world you’ll likely notice one familiar character – the musical talent. These artists have discovered a special way to reach their audience, which puts them in contact with millions of people every day. Also known as buskers, they aim to live solely from their art, with freedom and creativity by their side.
Now, a group of talented musicians from London have an appointment in São Paulo, Brazil, from November 8-12, 2010, with the Red Bull Sounderground – the 1st International Metro Musicians Festival.
Applications for this project are now closed. The musicians chosen to represent London will be announced here on 22 September 2010.
Idealized by Marcelo Beraldo in partnership with Red Bull, it’s a completely new musical festival project in Brazil and the rest of the world. During this week, performances will take place in underground stations across São Paulo city.
Red Bull Sounderground is organized and produced by Barong Productions and has the institutional support from the Cultural Action Department of São Paulo Underground.
