アーティスト
Filipe Catto
Over her 15-year career, CATTO has become one of the most important voices in contemporary Brazilian music, earning recognition from icons like Ney Matogrosso and Marina Lima. She has released five studio albums, two live albums, and amassed numerous collaborations, awards, and nominations.
In Belezas são Coisas Acesas por Dentro (2023), CATTO reimagines Gal Costa’s music for a new generation, drawing inspiration from the power and freedom of rock and roll. Interestingly, she and Gal share the same birth date—September 26th. With vulnerability and depth, CATTO interprets Gal’s songs to reflect her experiences as a non-binary trans person living in São Paulo, Latin America’s largest city.
In 2023, she performed at Primavera Sound São Paulo, where her show was ranked among the festival’s top 10, alongside The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, and Marisa Monte.
CLUB METRO is Japan’s oldest and most innovative club. It has been in operation since 1990 and is well known as both a Nightclub and concert hall. METRO has long been at the forefront of the Kansai culture and arts scene. Its reputation has spread outside of Japan; artists on the global leading-edge are regularly invited to perform.
