Gruff Rhys, Bonde Do Role for UK/Brazil fest

Os Mutantes, Four Tet also collaborate

Gruff Rhys, Os Mutantes, Bonde Do Role, and Four Tet are among the artists participating in a festival featuring collaborations from UK and Brazilian artists.

The TrocaBrahma festival is set to take place in London, Liverpool and Glasgow from July 26-29.

It is part of an exchange programme that brings UK artists to Brazil to collaborate with Brazilian artists. The artists then perform material resulting from the collaborations during the summer UK festival.

The artist pairings will be Os Mutantes with JD Twitch; Bonde Do Role, Radioclit, and Amanda Blank (hosted by Diplo); Gruff Rhys and Tony da Gatorra; Four Tet and Open Field Church; King Creosote and Romulo Froes; and Ben Westbeech and Tita Lima (hosted by Gilles Peterson).

This will be the first time legendary Brazilians Os Mutantes have performed in Glasgow and Liverpool.
