He is known as 'the hardest working man in the tropical music industry': Alex Figueira. The Venezuelan-Portuguese musician, producer, and DJ earned this title for good reason! In addition to his solo career, Alex is active in the tropical psych-punk group Fumaca Preta and the Afro-Caribbean psychedelic sensation Conjunto Papa Upa, both of which he founded. He certainly doesn't sit still. And neither will you during this edition of Kaleidoscope! With Figueira's music, you'll feel like you're at a tropical party. This party comes with a musical cocktail of Latin American music, Caribbean influences, danceable cumbia vibes, and elements of funk, soul, and psychedelic music. Tonight, Alex, along with two musician friends, will create a dance party at M.

On his solo debut album "Mentallogenic," Figueira plays every instrument himself. As if that weren’t enough, he also handles all the technical details single-handedly. The album was widely praised, with The Guardian calling it ‘a crate digger's delight.’ Giles Peterson of BBC 6 recommended his listeners to add everything by Alex Figueira to their playlists. Dance along to the cheerful, sweet sound of this musical multi-talent!
