O Hipertrópico

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.
