Yarah Bravo
In a time where music has evolved to exist largely as a monster moneymaking machine and a shallow showcase for stripped-off sex- kittens, there stands a young lady willing to show the world it’s all about the heart. This ever-loving soul perpetually radiates a defiant intelligence, acute political awareness and a world-traveller’s sense of cosmic consciousness while simultaneously exuding the streetwise cool of the neighbourhood girl we all secretly wanna kick it with. Yarah Bravo doesn’t want to churn out meaningless messages and she
knows that it would just be too boring swimming in the mainstream. So she’s created her own flow for the world to know. Ever heard of the saying “Don’t sleep”, well this lady took it literally. She books a lot of her own shows, runs her own label, designs her own clothes, makes her own videos, records her own vocals, makes her own flyers, hosts her own parties, promotes herself (and fellow artists) through the social networks. and styles and models for different street wear brands. She ventured into fashion professionaly with her successful Pop Up Boutique – “Captain Love Bubble” in east Londons trendy Shoreditch in 2011
But Music always comes first!
When she takes to the stage, she performs with a sense of heartfelt urgency, conviction, and youthful energy, she captivates even the most listless crowd. With more than 4 languages under her belt, rap and poetry became her way
of expression. Growing up in Sweden as a child of Chilean and Brazilian freedom fighters, once she was old enough to travel she left for NYC and London… SHE grew up to become a true renaissance woman with a purpose. While others continue pumping pollution into the airwaves, Yarah Bravo would rather challenge you with a breath of fresh air. She is the founding member of London’s super-group One Self (Ninja Tune Records) and the front woman of Dj Vadims – The Soundcatcher Soundsystem (BBE), blessed with an aphrodisiac voice that was born to be broadcast. This charismatic and openly honest MC enjoys what she’s does so much, it’s impossible not to love it too….After very recent collaborations with Nightmares on Wax (warp) , Organized Threat (L.A), A state Of Mind (Wax Tailor), Xewin (switzerland) etc. And a stint at the Red Bull Music Academy in spain. She is back to the stage with new material, as well as previously released favourites…Remember…this is the girl who has shared stages with everyone from Wu Tang Clan, Public Enemy to Fat Freddys Drop and Asian Dub Foundation…. Nuff Said!!
