George Silver

In more or less recent times, few musicians operating in Portugal have the same proficiency and sense of urgency as André Neves. A native of Barreiro, better known as George Silver, he has been a very important figure between solo performances, DJ sets, as a radio host with his Sincopado on Rádio Quântica or as a drummer in DEBUT!, a machinery operator in AFF, or a cosmonaut in Barata Cósmica. A kaleidoscopic and voracious vision that gets stuck in the most diverse songs - African polyrhythms, tropicalist swing, acid house and the chillest derivation of the 90's or the contemplation of Southwest Asia - and shuffles them with a contagious happiness and amazement. Inocente Indecente, released last year under an OUT.RA creative grant, denounced this thirst for discovery of a hidden pan-culturalism. Now, George Silver & Gold - his space ensemble - has been exploring his music in a collective way where dance is the motto for creation.
