In São Paulo, electronic music strengthens on streets, occupations and parties outside clubs, bringing together actuators from different areas. The maturation of the electronic-organic research of the party and of the artists that were part of this trajectory, results in MAMBAREC - label of original produtors and Brazilian artists.
As a result of this broad musical movement, we find ourselves in the young and in those who think of musical production as an instrument of artistic 'guerrilla warfare'. We don't care about musical genres, we care about history and our way of production.
