Neo-psicodelia brasileira (Brazilian neo-psychedelia) is a contemporary wave of Brazilian artists who revive and reinvent classic 1960s/70s psychedelic aesthetics through today’s indie-rock, dream-pop, shoegaze, and experimental production. Marked by shimmering guitars drenched in reverb and fuzz, hypnotic grooves that often nod to Brazilian rhythmic DNA (from Tropicália’s eclecticism to samba, baião, and maracatu pulses), and kaleidoscopic synth textures, the style pairs vintage tones with modern bedroom-studio craft. Portuguese lyrics frequently blend surreal imagery with everyday urban poetics, creating a sound that is at once nostalgic and forward-looking. This scene flourished around DIY venues, independent labels, and digital communities across Brazil, with a particularly strong footprint in cities like São Paulo, Goiânia, Belo Horizonte, and Recife. The result is a colorful, exploratory ecosystem that treats psychedelia not as pure retro revival but as a living vocabulary.

Música londrinense refers to the contemporary music made in and around Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. Rather than a single codified style, it is an umbrella scene tag that captures the city’s independent rock, MPB (Brazilian popular music), experimental electronic, hip‑hop, metal, jazz/classical ensembles linked to the local university, and community vocal groups. The scene is shaped by Londrina’s position as a university town (UEL), a robust circuit of rehearsal spaces and small venues, and festivals that encourage cross‑genre collaboration. Typical outputs range from indie and post‑punk tinged rock to MPB/samba‑informed songwriting, electronic hybrids, chamber/jazz projects, and community choirs—usually sung in Portuguese and marked by a DIY ethos.
