Don’t miss your chance to catch the Brazilian rapper’s first tour of the UK and the exclusive collaboration with Bristol-based duo Kid Campbell (aka DJ Frenic & Digistep).

Billy Saga is one of the most authentic and combative MCs in Brazil to address disability and equal rights. Fusing elements of Hip Hop, Rock, Reggae, Dub and Samba, he explores wide-ranging ideas from international affairs, politics and relationships to technology and religion.

On this tour Saga will perform together with his online collaborators Kid Campbell, going from the studio to the stage in their UK debut, backed by the vocals of Jú Caldas.

As well as an energetic live show the musicians will be delivering workshops in Bristol, London & Gateshead, plus Billy Saga’s work will be exhibited in Glasgow as part of Unlimited Festival at Tramway.
