"VISCERAL BRAZIL - The Open Veins of Music" is a trip through the veins of 13 incredible Brazilian musicians and groups, exposing their creative energy that explodes into great and different sounds.
All the ingredients in this project has what it takes to make it a successful serie worldwide. As known, Portraits about Brazilian musicians already seduces the public beyond the international borders. But now we introduce one more important element: the documentary style to show Regional Brazilian Artists that inspire some the Greatest Artists in Brazil..
One artist per episode, and each one completely different from the other. For example, the Zabé da Loca's Episode has a different narrative and focus than Zé do Pife's Episode. The first will be more intimate, working with the sense of claustrophobia (cause Zabé lived in a Cave for 25 years) in the cinematography style while the second one will be unpredictable like the character and the câmera will just follow it, trying to see and listen the world by the POV of Zé do Pife.
Every artist has their unique story and essence. "Visceral Brazil" takes that essence and try to transform it in a documentary. with outstanding geographies and nice music, It is a documentary to fill the eyes... and ears.
