Mauricio Tizumba

Mauricio Tizumba is a vibrant Brazilian artist deeply rooted in Afro-Brazilian traditions, blending percussive rhythms, soulful vocals, and theatrical flair. Hailing from Minas Gerais, he’s celebrated for revitalizing cultural expressions like *congado* (a devotional Afro-Brazilian dance) and infusing them with contemporary energy. His music often explores themes of ancestry, spirituality, and resistance, as heard in releases like *Deixa o Congo Passar* and *Tizumba África 50*, which honor Black Brazilian heritage. A multidisciplinary performer, Tizumba also shines in theater, composing soundtracks like *Palavras da Fé* for adaptations of iconic Brazilian literature. Collaborations with artists like Sérgio Pererê and tributes to legends like Vander Lee highlight his versatility and reverence for Brazil’s musical tapestry. Whether live or recorded, his work feels like a joyous, communal celebration of resilience.
