RAKTA is a band that emanates from the vibrant underground music scene of São Paulo, Brazil. Formed around the early 2010s, the group has been continually evolving, creating a unique blend of experimental and psychedelic sounds that challenge and redefine genre boundaries. Their namesake self-titled debut "Rakta EP" and the subsequent full-length "Rakta" laid the foundation of their mystique, setting them apart within the punk and post-punk landscape with their haunting atmospheres and ritualistic performances.

The group's subsequent releases, such as 'III' and 'Intenção,' have seen them delve deeper into an otherworldly synthesis of indigenous rhythms, noise-inflected sonorities, and hypnotic vocal incantations. RAKTA's presence extends beyond studio recordings; their live album "Ao Vivo no @MartheFestival" captures the raw energy and trance-inducing nature of their performances. With 'Falha Comum' and a notable collaboration with fellow Brazilian experimentalists Deafkids in 'Sessões Selo Sesc #6: Rakta + Deafkids,' RAKTA continues to push sonic boundaries and solidify their role as torchbearers of innovative, avant-garde music that defies easy categorization. Their music isn't just heard; it's experienced, offering a captivating journey through soundscapes imbued with a sense of the mystical and the revolutionary.
