Alcides Neto is a Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Naarm/Melbourne. Drawing inspiration from the folk traditions of his homeland, he offers a fresh perspective on Brazilian music by blending traditional rhythms with contemporary Brazilian influences.
Released in February via Music in Exile, Amú features eight original compositions and is a nostalgic yet celebratory journey through the landscapes of Alcides' homeland, reflecting on the cultural traditions and family connections left behind while looking hopefully towards new horizons. The album was warmly received both locally and internationally, earning PBS FM's Album of the Week, being named one of Bandcamp's Best Latin Album releases of March 2026, receiving praise from UK label Mr Bongo as "one of the best releases of 2026 so far," and attracting airplay on Jazz FM and Worldwide FM.
Neto brings the album to the stage with his seven-piece band across three shows this August, with local support acts joining him in Sydney and Brisbane. Presented by BEMAC (Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre), in partnership with Music in Exile.
