Feminine Hi Fi

Sobre

Feminine Hi-Fi, founded in 2016, is led by DJ Dani Pimenta and singer/MC Laylah Arruda. In their show, the duo takes a deep dive into the connections between reggae/dub and the unique sound of Brazilian bass culture. The result is a musical selection full of energy and originality, with classics and novelties, and flavored by releases from the Feminine Hi-Fi Records label. The project carries out affirmative actions to strengthen the female presence in music. Since 2022, it has organised the Feminine Hi-Fi Festival, a festival dedicated to dub and sound system culture that has brought together dozens of Brazilian and international artists. They are part of the Directorio de Agrupaciones de Mujeres y/o Personas LGTBIQ+, led by BIME, Femnoise and Sorority Lab. In 2022, they won the Equal Seal by WME, an initiative of the Women's Music Event award aimed at projects that value diversity and inclusion. In 2023, they were the only Latin American project selected by Ballantine's UK True Music Fund programme. They are part of Sonic Street Technologies, a Goldsmiths University of London project aimed at researching and valorising sound system culture around the world. Over the years, the project has been present at the main festivals, parties and concert halls in Brazil and Europe. They have toured internationally four times, in countries such as France, Germany, England, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain and Ireland.
