Db Artists Musique Podcast - 156 - Bimbau

Bimbau was born in Brazil, on the outskirts of São Paulo, where rhythm was inherent to everyday life from an early age. After moving to Paris in 2012, she connected with electronic music through the city’s club scene, before heading to London in 2016, where she explored the avant-garde underground and deepened her connection to dancefloors and warehouse sound systems. In 2019 she relocated to Berlin where she spent the following years immersed in the city’s electronic music culture exploring, refining her sound, and developing her technical skills. Deeply influenced by Brazilian rhythms and beat patterns, Bimbau blends percussive house with raw 90s vocals. Her sets are powerful and hypnotic, rhythmically driven, built for the dance floor. From Sisyphos to Mensch Meier and Kater in Berlin, to Wall in Miami and Omeara in London, she continues to expand her presence across international dancefloors, including festival appearances and recent peak-time sets at Silencio in Paris. Bimbau’s name is inspired by the Afro-Brazilian instrument berimbau, a symbol of resistance and movement, reflecting how sound travels across oceans, evolves through cultures, and creates spaces of connection, freedom, and belonging.
