One of the leading forces behind Rio’s captivating new musical wave, Rubel fuses the contemporary with the classic, soaking up the richness of Brazil’s musical heritage but through a distinctly modern lens.
As one of Brazil's biggest contemporary stars, he has collaborated with a whole of host of the country's finest artists from Emicida, Rincon Sapiência and Gabriel do Borel, Liniker, Tim Bernardes and Milton Nascimento. His third album, As Palavras, Vol. 1 & 2, truly felt like a transformative force for the MPB genre. Blending traditional styles such as forró, MPB, pagode and samba with modern baile funk, rasteirinha and hip-hop, it quite rightly garnered a Latin Grammy-nomination.
