Labaq

A “pop caress”, as defined by Rolling Stone. Larie flows between the organicity of MPB, electronic pop and their own experimentalisms.
Having already stepped on stages such as Ronnie Scott’s in London, SummerStage in New York or Solís Theater in Montevideo, the composer, singer and music producer is one of the exponents of new Brazilian contemporary music.
Born in Franca - province of São Paulo, they studied several instruments from an early age, which gave them versatility to be a side musician for different projects over the years - from samba and chorinho, funk and traditional brazilian rhythms until flamenco or experimental electronic music.
Taking a step towards a solo career, Larie released VOA (2016), which today gathers more than 4M streams on Spotify and was their gateway to an international career. In 2019 released the album Lux, followed by comparisons to Bon Iver or Camille and the attempt of Spanish critics to define it as "somewhere between Björk and Caetano Veloso". The single DÓIDÓIDÓI breaks the silence of a few years and resets the artist in the attention of their loyal audience.
They have performed in 19 countries, accounting for hundreds of shows between America and Europe in the last 10 years, with a performance that ranges from intimacy and finesse to fury, antagonisms and dynamics that make it hard to categorize their music in only one box.
Based in Portugal since 2020, in 2022 they join the Fado Bicha trio, as a side musician and collaborator.
