Papangu
+ Dead Neanderthals
Papangu is one of the most exciting exports from the Brazilian underground of the moment. The band serves up an explosive mix of progressive rock, sludge, jazz, and psychedelia, peppered with surprising rhythms and influences from their homeland.
With their highly acclaimed 2021 debut “Holoceno”, Papangu already proved that there are no boundaries to their sound. Don’t expect standard songs: these are compelling compositions that switch between heavy riffs, jazzy interludes, and hypnotic grooves. Live, that musical freedom comes fully to life. Their sound is intense, unpredictable, and uncompromising. New work is in the works.
An elusive band like Papangu calls for a support act that can match this. Who better than Dead Neanderthals? This friendly duo, featuring Otto Kokke on saxophone & synthesizer and René Aquarius on drums, blasts a devastating mix of free jazz, grind core, and noise through the speakers without ever slowing down. What they deliver is raw, unpredictable, and completely untamed. No traditional songs, but sonic attacks that balance between improvisation and pure chaos.
