Retrofoguetes

Known throughout Brazil as one of the most virtuoso and conceptual groups of instrumental music from the independent scenario, The Retrofoguetes emerged in Salvador in 2002, from the breakup of the Dead Billies. Their style mixes elements of surf music, tango, mambo, jazz, polka and bossa nova, with a cinematic, comic strip and old TV series settings. The result is fun and extremely visual pop music. In 2016, Morotó Slim/electric guitar, Julio Moreno/electric guitar, Fábio Rocha/bass guitar and Rex/drums released Enigmascope – Volume 1. Considered by the musicians as being the most mature album in the band’s 15 year career. With the departure of Morotó Slim and the entrance Andre T’s keyboards – an old partner and friend of the band – the Retrofoguetes continue to play and are already preparing to record Enigmascope – Volume 2.
