    Brazilian producer Plínio Abrantes has released a new single “Teach Me Brother.”

    Plínio Abrantes’ work blends Afrohouse and Tropical/Melodic House elements into immersive and emotional soundscapes.

     His productions are marked by  storytelling, combining electronic textures with organic sounds, Brazilian percussion and cultural influences.

    “Teach Me Brother” marks an important step in Plínio’s journey, being his first Afrohouse track after a series of Tropical House releases.

    The song carries a universal message of empathy and unity: instead of asking for help in the form of gifts or charity, the lyrics ask to be taught — to fish, to grow, to learn — as a way to walk side by side.
