Poranguí at Alte Kaserne Zürich

Imagine an evening where rhythm and melody merge into a living, breathing conversation—one musician, multiple instruments, and the infinite possibility of live looping creating a soundscape that unfolds in real time before your ears. Poranguí brings this transformative experience to Alte Kaserne Zürich on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, offering Zurich audiences a rare encounter with world music improvisation at its most intimate and expansive.

Born from the crossroads of Brazilian, Mexican, and southwestern American cultures, Poranguí's music is a bridge between traditions—a living testament to his multicultural roots and his mastery of solo improvisational performance. If you're seeking an evening that nourishes the soul, awakens the body, and opens new pathways of listening, this concert invites you to step into a space where music becomes meditation, and the present moment becomes the only reality that matters.

What to Expect

Expect to be held in a web of evolving soundscapes as Poranguí layers instruments and vocal textures through live looping technology. Each piece unfolds organically, building from a single note into rich, intricate arrangements that seem to come from somewhere beyond conscious thought. The atmosphere is contemplative yet alive—this is not passive listening, but an invitation to journey alongside the musician as he discovers the music in real time. You'll leave with your nervous system recalibrated, your sense of rhythm expanded, and a deeper appreciation for the sacred power of improvisation.

About the Artist

Poranguí is a world music multi-instrumentalist celebrated for his distinctive approach to live looping and solo improvisation. Born in São José dos Campos, Brazil, Poranguí grew up immersed in the rich musical traditions of Brazil through his mother and Mexico through his father, while also absorbing the sonic landscape of the southwestern United States. Now based in Sedona, Arizona, he has developed a unique voice that honors these cultural influences while pushing the boundaries of what a solo performer can create in real time. His work bridges the gap between world music traditions and contemporary experimental performance, inviting listeners into deeply meditative, yet dynamically engaging soundworlds.
