André Abujamra

André Abujamra is a wildly creative Brazilian musician, composer, and cultural shapeshifter who’s been bending genres since the 1990s. Best known as the frontman of experimental band Karnak (famed for their eclectic mix of MPB, rock, and global sounds), he’s also a prolific solo artist with a knack for blending piano-driven elegance with playful weirdness. The son of legendary actor Antonio Abujamra, André inherited a theatrical flair that spills into his music—whether he’s crafting quirky film/TV soundtracks (he scored the iconic *Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum* series) or dropping hypnotic piano works like his recent *Piano Love* series. Those dreamy, introspective instrumental tracks you listed—*African Love in Dance*, *The Sun Rising Beautifully*, *Piano Joy of Living*—showcase his gift for turning keyboards into emotional landscapes. Beyond music, he’s a cross-disciplinary mad scientist, dabbling in acting, art installations, and collaborations that keep São Paulo’s art scene deliciously unpredictable.
