Rhuan Santos — Curitiba, Brazil

“I love all Pink Floyd covers, they are simply outstanding and inspirational. There’s a lot of creativity and originality in covers by Brazilian artists as well. Examples are Secos & Molhados (1973), Jorge Ben’s A Tábua de Esmeralda (1974), Tom Zé’s Todos os Olhos (1973) and all the covers of Afrobeat band Bixiga70. I like when the arts have a hidden concept behind them, making you connect the music and the art, to better understand the artist’s message.”
