On Rastilho Kiko Dinucci absorbs the lineage of Brazilian guitarists suchas Dorival Caymmi, João Gilberto, Baden Powell, Jorge Ben andGilberto Gil - yet filtered through his uniquely ‘punk’ musical vision.His style is raw - technically, he seems to attack the guitar strings,lyrically he explores Afro-Brazilian culture, slavery, Brazilianrevolutionaries, candomblé and evangelical Christianity.Dinucci is one the most innovative artists in contemporary Brazilianmusic – as well as a member of Metá Metá, who combine elements ofBrazilian music, candomblé, punk rock and free jazz, he has workedwith Tom Zé, Criolo and Elza Soares.Kiko: “I’ve wanted to make an album dedicated to the guitar for a longtime. As a child, I treated it as a toy. In my teens, with my guitar patchedwith pieces of sellotape, I tried to reproduce heavy rock riffs whilstfinding inspiration in the Afro works of Baden Powell and guitars ofDorival Caymmi, João Bosco, Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil. In the 90s myexperience in the São Paulo hardcore scene was mirrored by timespent in candomblé activities - both shaped the way I play guitar today.”
