Brazilian Girls
Sleek, polyglot pop that moves between dub, tango, and house. Sophisticated electronic grooves for late nights in international cities.

Brazilian Girls emerged from the fertile New York City 'Nublu' scene of the early 2000s, a movement defined by its disregard for genre boundaries and its embrace of global rhythms. Despite the name, the band was a multi-national quartet consisting of Italian-German vocalist Sabina Sciubba, Argentine keyboardist Didi Gutman, and an American rhythm section.
Their sound identity is built on a foundation of alternative dance and trip-hop, but distinguished by Sciubba's polyglot lyrics and the band's integration of tango, chanson, and reggae. Critically, they were hailed as the sophisticated face of the 2000s electronica boom, bridging the gap between the chillout rooms of the 90s and the art-pop sensibilities of the 2010s. Their career arc saw them move from downtown darlings to Grammy nominees with 2008's 'New York City'. They represent a specific intersection of audiophile jazz background and club-culture experimentation, influencing the 'global-bass' and sophisticated indie-dance movements that followed.
