Blubell is a paulistana singer-songwriter who has been performing for almost twenty years. We spoke to the up-and-coming musician taking part in Lollapalooza 2012 about the best places to tune in to the so-called nova cena paulista – a new wave of talented young paulistano singer-songwriters.

'The common denominator of the nova cena paulista is more personal than musical – it’s made up of great friends. But you could say that everyone just rolls up their sleeves and gets involved, and that most of the music is bringing back the art of the song – mine included.
'If you want to see these kinds of artists, I recommend keeping an eye on what’s going on at São Paulo’s SESCs, and at venues on Rua Augusta like Studio SP. I also always recommend Casa de Francisca, a comfortable little place that always has a well curated lineup. I also love the Mercearia São Pedro in Vila Madalena. It’s a real hub for the musicians and composers involved in the scene.'
