Wugori is a producer and beatmaker born in Amadora, who debuted in 2018 with the beatape ‘Gorila’, having in 2019 solidified his path with ‘Ciclo das Duas Cobras’, EP about a spiritual awakening achieved through deep self-knowledge and reflection. In 2021, he teamed up with Gonsalocomc to create ‘Mal passado, bem pensado’, an EP that unites the raw creative honesty of both artists, creating an eternal timelessness that already marks the history of alternative hip-hop in Portugal.
Still in the same year, he signs the single ’36’ and several productions on Mura’s ‘O Álbum do Desassossego’ and Snootiechainz’s ‘Correntes’. Already in 2022, Wugori collaborated with DoisPês on the single FAROFA CYPHER and the album KIOSK, and released ‘JUICE MANUVA’, a collaboration album with Snootiechainz, which serves as an ode to both friendship and freedom in artistic creation and interpretation.
Live, Wugori debuts in live set format in 2018 at Desterro, and again in 2019 with shows at Desterro and Odd Trindade. In 2020, he performs in live set at 36, in Lisbon, and still in the same year, but already with voice, he signed the poster for Chinfrim Não É Barulho, at Anjos 70. In 2021, he signs the ZigurFest’s poster, with a joint show with LYFE and Afta3000, in Lamego, as well as one of the editions of LX Rap Clandestino, in the space Com Calma e Cultura, in Lisbon.
In his artistic work, both in studio and live, Wugori marks his sound, in electronica and hip-hop, by the constant search for a raw and free energy in the instrumental and the exploration of themes that overcome the barrier of the superficial, addressing themes that aim to scrutinize a deeper and darker side of human experience. Thus, it contrasts the lyric with the explosive, yet relaxed instrumental, filled with ethereal melodies and warm, heavy rhythms.
