Biribá Union

Biribá Union is a genre-bending trio that draws on the freestyle theatrics of hip-hop and Go-go music; the effortless beauty of Brazilian forró and choro; the earthiness of American roots music, and improvisational spontaneity. Formed by musicians from Silkroad’s Global Musician Workshop, the trio is comprised of Grammy-winning cellist Mike Block, beatboxer/rapper Christylez Bacon, and bassist Patricia Ligia (or Edward Pérez in some performances).
