Art in Action interview - Municipal K7 records in Brazil

Free City Radio

On the July 2024 edition of the Art in Action interview series we hear from Rafael Stan Molina in Brazil who works on a independent record label called Municipal K7. This project releases underground and experimental music from Brazil. In this conversation Rafael speaks about the complexities of running an experimental music label in Brazil in an egalitarian way as contemporary art spaces are often only open to upper class social networks. Also Rafael speaks about the political and social impacts of the landscape of electoral politics in Brazil over the past decades and how the extreme right wing government of Bolsonaro impacted the cultural scene and efforts people are undertaking to recover.
