Summer in the City: João de Sousa

João de Sousa is a singer, guitarist and composer valued on the Polish music scene. He comes from Porto, Portugal and his lusophone roots have a significant impact on the music he creates although fascinations with other genres such as jazz and world music, freely move him away from fado. He seeks inspiration everywhere – in electronic music, hip-hop, reggae – transforming their elements into their own musical language. João collaborated with Andrzej Smolik, Mikromusic and many jazz artists. His songs were featured in the ‘RAM Cafe vol. 7’ radio album and also in the ‘Siesta vol. 11’ by Marcin Kydryński. He also performed with an orchestra.
