Tagua Tagua

A project led by Brazilian musician Felipe Puperi, Tagua Tagua creates a sleek fusion of Tropical soul, supple indie pop, and psychedelia. Formerly of the São Paulo space rock band Wannabe Jalva, Puperi launched Tagua Tagua in the late 2010s, building interest with a pair of EPs ahead of their 2020 full-length debut Inteiro Metade. Tours of Europe and a handful of U.S. dates followed before Tagua Tagua signed with Brooklyn indie Wonderwheel. Leaning even more heavily into his soul and R&B side, Puperi recorded 2023's Tanto, a lush, sun-drenched collection of love songs.
