Poranguí at Volkshaus Zürich

Imagine a concert where a single musician creates a living, breathing world of sound—layering melodies, rhythms, and textures in real time, each loop building into something greater than the sum of its parts. This is the gift of Poranguí's solo improvisational live looping performance, coming to Volkshaus Zürich on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.

Poranguí is a world music multi-instrumentalist whose art bridges continents and cultures, weaving together the warmth of Brazilian heritage, Mexican rhythms, and the expansive energy of the American Southwest into a singular, meditative sonic journey. Whether you come seeking musical inspiration, a moment of collective resonance, or simply the beauty of authentic improvisation, this concert invites you into a space where music becomes ceremony—a live creation that will never be replicated in quite the same way again.

What to Expect

Poranguí performs as a one-person ensemble, using live looping technology to layer instruments and voices into evolving soundscapes. The experience unfolds organically: you'll witness him build foundations, add textures, and respond intuitively to the energy in the room. The result is deeply meditative yet dynamic—music that soothes the nervous system while engaging the spirit. This is music for deep listening, for those who come to be transported rather than simply entertained. You'll leave with a renewed sense of what's possible when an artist surrenders to genuine improvisation.

About the Artist

Poranguí draws on a lifetime immersed in world music traditions. Born in São José dos Campos, Brazil, he grew up navigating the musical and cultural worlds of his Brazilian mother and Mexican father, while also absorbing the influences of the southwestern United States. Now based in Sedona, Arizona, Poranguí has developed a distinctive voice as a solo improvisational musician, using live looping to create intimate, spacious soundscapes that honor his multicultural roots while remaining fully present to each moment of creation.
