Percussivo Mundo Novo

Rising from the proposition that in mixing traditional instrumentation with technological innovation one can reinvent the way we play percussion and popular music, Percussivo Mundo Novo (“New World Percussion”) or PMN (pronounced "Pay May Nay") combines custom designed instruments with a unique style of playing, dubbed, "Digital Percussion". PMN is a collaborative project led by multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Mikael Mutti together with some of Bahia’s best and most creative percussionists, offering an inspired and entertaining twist on contemporary music from Brazil, meshing influences like samba, jazz, rap, rock, electronica, hip-hop, and samba-reggae, while maintaining throughout a deep respect and affection for the traditional styles and heritage that is at its roots.Percussivo Mundo Novo is composed of Brazilian musicians from Bahia’s artistic new generation, that believe that through the expression of their music and art, they can build a new world of rhythm and percussion, without losing track of the roots from where it came. PMN exalts the elements of the musical culture of Bahia, joining together the modern with the traditional, presenting to its audience a new and distinctive musical experience. Featuring a distinct live aesthetic, and a vibe that flows between cyberpunk and ceremony, the players rock and leap with a spark that belies the group’s astounding precision.
