What are you plugging right now?

‘‘My most recent recording is Tudo, which came out about two years ago in the US and Europe, and comes out in New Zealand this month. Right now I’m also experiment­ing with some new music and enjoying a return to a more electronic vibe. Last year, I went to the Mexican city, Tulum, on the Caribbean Sea, and got turned on to all these new DJs associated with Burning Man who use many tribal sounds, including Brazilian music. People such as Acid Pauli, Felipe Torquato, and DJ Oceans who is a very interestin­g guy from Turkey. So I’ve been talking to these guys and working on some material that will hopefully have them involved.

Tell us a little about your cultural background, and the music of your home country?
