Nanan is a musician, environmentalist, teacher and luthier. He is a Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist known worldwide for his song "Casa da Floresta", which went viral and reached the entire world as a standard for the Portuguese language and agroecology. He was an active member of the Playing for Change Brazil school. In 2018, he founded the global mantra project Kosmik Band, which performs in India and at festivals around the world. He is also part of the trio 'O Destino do Clã' with Luizga and Gustavito from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The 'Movimento' tour carries the strength of the troubadour, in guitar and voice, and has already toured several states in Brazil, also passing through Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Panama, Mexico, Chile and Argentina. Songs that link ancestry and the present day, seeking a healthy link between the past and the future of our global village, Earth; with the strength of diversity in Brazilian and global roots.
"Nanan is a songbird, a maker of songs that clear the mind and brighten the spirit. Grounded in the magical energy of healing songs, his repertoire is crossed by world music, but rooted in the Latin American tradition of the bard, the one who illuminates the paths of the village with his guitar and voice, tearing the air with firmness and softness. His songs stir something like an ancestral memory of the great community that we once were and that we can perhaps become again, embodied in rich, synthetic instrumentation that breathes and pulses along with the melodies, in a fluid and subtle way... Because of the humble clarity with which it assumes its role in the world, it is music to expand the heart and feed the dream of a brighter and more conscious future."
