guest session
06.06.23

Growing up in rural southern Brazil with a radio DJ for a father, Gabriel was exposed to all kinds of music from his home country, but it wasn’t until he moved to L.A. that he began curating Brazilian records and DJing himself. In L.A. he bonded with Stones Throw’s founder, artist and DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, over their shared love of Brazilian music, and began writing his own bossa nova. He recently released his debut album on Stones Throw, É o que a casa oferece, which pays tribute to the greats of samba and bossa nova, with a modern edge. Sung in Portuguese, the autobiographical lyrics explore Gabriel’s rural childhood, his adventures traveling around the world, and the stories he’s picked up along the way.
