their time in bringing to Montreal their collection of<br />

<strong>Tupi</strong>cycle<br />

Brazilian Rhythms <strong>Collective</strong> of Djs<br />

“<strong>Tupi</strong>cycle” is a <strong>Tupi</strong> <strong>Collective</strong> summer project<br />

created in August 2014 to bring the joy of<br />

Brazilian music to Montreal’s open air spaces.<br />

It consists of a sound system (2 turntables<br />

+ mixer + speaker + battery) adapted to a<br />

customized 1960s Schiwm tricycle that plays<br />

only vinyl records. It is designed to offer a good<br />

sound quality for people in public spaces like<br />

parcs and subway stations. The volume and<br />

the selection of songs are adapted to the mood<br />

of people and the environment, transitioning<br />

from “jazzy bossa nova” songs and “classical<br />

Brazilian music”, to groovy “forró” and “disco/<br />

boogie/funk” brazilian bands. In 2015 the<br />

<strong>Tupi</strong>cycle was selected to play at the Mural<br />

Festival and at Jardins Gamelin, winning there,<br />

the title of “coup de coeur” from the public.<br />

In 2016’s summer, <strong>Tupi</strong>cycle was invited to<br />

participate at the Marché de Possibles (Pop<br />

Montreal), Jardins Gamelins, Mapp Festival, Ma<br />

Ville en Fête - St Catherine city, Mural Festival,<br />

Cinèma suous les Étoiles, Laika Bar Street Sale<br />

and many others.<br />
