Borba

**Borba** is a Brazilian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Rio de Janeiro, known for his genre-blending sound that mixes indie rock, MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), and sly lyrical wit. Emerging in the early 2000s as part of Brazil’s vibrant alt-rock scene, he’s carved out a niche with albums like **III** (2021) and tracks such as **"Chucro Cidadão"** and **"Apartamento"**, which balance raw, garage-band energy with poetic reflections on modern life. His work often nods to retro aesthetics (see **"Retrofuturo"**) while tackling themes like identity, nostalgia, and societal quirks—all delivered with a laid-back, observational charm. Borba maintains a DIY ethos, self-producing much of his music, and his releases, including **"Mi Madre y el Punk Rock"**, showcase his knack for turning everyday stories into anthems that resonate across generations.
