With its title inspired by a Paulo Leminski poem: Amar e um elo / entre o azul / e o amarelo (Loving is a link / between blue / and yellow)AmarElo is Emicida's most ambitious project to date.In today's polarised world and as one of Brazil's most successful rappers whose very stage name is a combination of the words for 'MC' and 'killer', Emicida has deliberately chosen to focus on a positive message of Love, in all its forms, as our common bond.Born 1985 in a poor area of Sao Paulo, multi-award winning Emicida a.k.a Leandro Roque de Oliveira, along with his brother Evandro Fioti, now own and run their own recording and production company, Laboratorio Fantasma, including a merchandising division that challenges several stereotypes.AmarElo includes contributions from a wide range of Brazilian musicians, not least Dona Onete and Zeca Pagodinho, or more contemporary artists such as Drik Barbosa and Pabllo Vittar. International contributors include the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and the Afro-French Cuban sisters, Ibeyi.
