Otto

Otto, born Otto Maximiliano Pereira de Cordeiro Ferreira, is a multi-faceted Brazilian artist whose work spans a variety of styles, merging elements of traditional Brazilian music with contemporary electronic sounds. Otto's career took off during the 1990s when he became known as a member of the manguebeat movement, a cultural revolution that synthesized global music trends with regional rhythms from Brazil's northeastern state of Pernambuco.

Following his participation in influential bands such as Mundo Livre S/A and Nação Zumbi, Otto embarked on a solo journey that would establish him as one of Brazil's most innovative artists. Over the years, he's cultivated a diverse discography. "Samba pra Burro," his debut solo album, hit the airwaves in 1998 and was a critical success, drawing attention to Otto's inventive use of electronic music within a Brazilian context. Subsequent albums like "Condom Black," "Certas Manhãs Acordei De Sonhos Intranquilos," and "The Moon 1111" have seen Otto continue to explore and integrate an array of genres, from psychedelic pop to afrobeat and beyond.

Otto's recent releases, such as "Ottomatopeia" and his latest single "Corpo Flechado," showcase his continued evolution as an artist, blending poetic lyrics with rich, diverse soundscapes that paint an audio picture of contemporary Brazil's complex identity. His live performances, sometimes featured in recordings like "Moska Apresenta Zoombido: Otto" and "MTV Apresenta Otto," offer a passionate representation of his studio work, delivering the same vigor and heart to audiences worldwide. Otto's eclectic approach not only captures the spirit of Brazilian music but also challenges and expands its boundaries with every new project.
