Flavio Renegado
Known as 'Renegade', Flávio de Abreu Lourenco is a Brazilian rap artist. Winner of 2008’s Hutúz, Latin America’s prestigious hip-hop festival, Renegade has grown in notoriety across the world with each tour. His debut album 'From the New York Oiapoque' took him to Cuba, France, the UK, Spain and Australia, as well as a large scale tour of Brazil; a work rich in native rhythms like samba, the bossa nova and maracatu as well as a whole scope of Black music like Afrobeat, Caribbean rhythms and American hip-hop.

Diego Martin Durand (aka Palermitano)
The song was inspired by the shores of Diego’s neighbourhood Palermo, in Montevideo, Uruguay. The base of the style of the work is Candombe, a musical blend of Uruguay folk and Afro roots. The processes of recording, editing, and mixing of the audio were made in Diego’s home studio.
