A true pioneer of funk carioca, Deize Tigrona has blasted the raw pulse of Rio de Janeiro onto the international stage. Revealed by the likes of Diplo, M.I.A. and Buraka Som Sistema, she delivers half-sung tracks that fuse humour, social commentary and unfiltered energy. With Sadomasoquista—a manifesto track that went viral—she has cemented her status as an artist who agitates as fiercely as she makes you move, operating at the crossroads of experimentation, activism and pure party instinct. Catch it live at Paléo this summer.
