About Me

Entidade sônica urbana movida a batidas, rimas & a vida, capitaneada pelos microfones de Lurdez Da Luz e Rodrigo Brandão, o Sound System original da Babilônia ganhou as ruas no fatídico ano 2000, com a missão de pavimentar novas avenidas no imaginário do hip hop brasileiro. Meia década, três discos, várias faixas, shows e emoções depois, o Mamelo é dono de um histórico que inclui parcerias com figuras de destaque no cenário nacional, como Black Alien, Naná Vasconcelos, Dj Marky, Nação Zumbi, J.T. Meirelles, mundo livre S/A, Hurtmold e Thaíde & Dj Hum, e internacional: a entidade Afrika Bambaataa, o grupo nova-iorquino Wax Poetics, o Dj J-Period do Zion I e Rahzel, o beatboxer do The Roots. Hoje o combo se completa com Professor M.Stereo no comando das batidas/efeitos + Dj PG nos scratches, e leva adiante a divulgação do seu mais recente lançamento, Velha Guarda 22. Mamelo Sound Sistem é um grupo de hip-hop afro-futurista brasileiro.
