BRINCADEIRABrincadeira was born in 2004 as a result of percussion meetings in the Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona. Throughout its trajectory, it evolved from being a batucada group to a Percussion company that fuses body expression with musicality, creating melodies through movement.
His first composition is La Sonrisa del Silencio 2008, a show for all ages that for an hour people will feel and enjoy the energy of every moment.
Following the idea of connecting with the public, ..Evolution 2.0.. 2013 is created. Like the word itself, it's a show in constant development.
The musical process and choreographic creation are based on the knowledge and balance of virtues and weaknesses of the people that take part in the show. Working on personal growth as well as the social aspect. With this show, Brincadeira has travelled to Sweden, Germany, Russia, Italy and Romania.
When the internationalization of the company started, Edison wanted to transmit through movement and sound, the beauty of Barcelona. For this reason, VÊRTICAL 2015 show was created, which is based on the constant search of reality, and helps us to understand that our life should be an improvisation “without anything else”… This show has travelled to Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Portugal, Denmark, Italy, etc...
The company is a MEINL endorser since 2015, one of the major brands of the music industry, and also collaborates with BAART.
In 2016, in conjunction with BrodasBros company, VIBRA show was created, a mixture of urban dances with percussion that has been present at the MAC Festival, Tivoli Theater, Grec Theater, Sant Cugat Auditorium, in Thuir(France), etc.
After acquiring a great amount of experience in both street and theater shows, PERCULIGHTS was created, where movement, percussion and rhythm generate real - time light and color dynamics.. It premiered in 2018 at the Festus de Torelló and we have already had the opportunity to be part of the Three wise men parade of Barcelona, the Encesa de Llums de Cornellà, the Spring Festival in Doha..
From the big experiences obtained from the show VIBRA, emerges the idea of SINCÊRITY, a connecting space between Edison Aguilar and Rodrigo Sarubbi that chases the creation of melodies through the union of percussion and guitar, letting themselves go by the strength and deepness of their feelings, 2020.
After tumultuous social years, changes unfold in both the direction and focus of the project, seeking new motivations. Journeys, experiences, and rehearsals throughout this time culminate in 2023 in a creative phase, giving birth to two new concepts evolved at the same time:
GLOWDRUMS emerges from the desire to innovate and enhance the previous PERCULIGHTS show: a further step towards connecting art and science. Edison Aguilar's creative ideas, coupled with the use of cutting-edge LED matrix screens, result in the Antonio Vera's design of original costumes perfectly conveying the fusion of music, geometry and technology. The show premieres in October 2023 at the Santa Lucía Festival in Monterrey, Mexico.
Simultaneously, stemming from the same root as VÊRTICAL, we present the new Mërøgrådɘ show in Bahrain in November 2023. The constant link between past and present propels us toward an unusual future, giving rise to this magnetic and captivating proposal, "mercury retrograde."
Throughout its history, the project has always maintained a social aspect, approaching its work to disadvantaged groups, fighting for equal opportunities and promoting cohesion based on music.
The Percussion Workshops have evolved, reaching all kinds of groups (children, young people, families...). After the musical and educational work done at various schools, socio-cultural projects and neighborhoods of Barcelona, all of these experiences give rise, in 2020, to the EDUCATIONAL PROJECT.
