Sónar Lisboa is the Portuguese strand of one of Europe’s most prestigious cultural events focused on merging art, technology and music to create an immersive experience across 3 days and nights.
Now 3 years strong, the festival has proved that it’s more than capable of holding its own alongside its big sister in Barcelona. Sónar Lisboa is a multicultural hub bursting with creativity that pushes the boundaries of electronic music and showcases the endless possibilities of our technology moving forward.
Today, we are gifting you with a set recorded live at the festival’s latest edition. This one, from rising local artist XEXA, is a beautiful trip into a world of afro-futurism and captivating sound design.
Príncipe Discos’ XEXA, a Lisboan with Säo Toméan ancestry, created 60 minutes of magic under the canopy at SonarPark. She crafted a unique soundscape featuring varied synthesisers and traditional wood instruments blended with field recordings and her own vocals. An essential listen for any lover of sound.
