Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Nyron Higor brings his second album, Nyron Higor, to the Balzaal. Expect an intimate, reflective listening experience of relaxed, warm and dreamy music.

Born in Brazil, Nyron Higor represents a new generation of Brazilian artists who are quietly reshaping the country's musical landscape. As a composer and multi-instrumentalist, Nyron has emerged as a central figure within an extraordinary creative community flourishing in Brazil's Northeast. Among fellow Maceioenses Bruno Berle and Batata Boy, alongside artists like Phylipe Nunes Araújo, Nyron makes music which honors regional traditions while incorporating contemporary influences, arrangements and production techniques.

His debut album Fio de Lâmina, a self-released instrumental work that appeared in December 2022, established Higor as an artist with a rare sensitivity. The beautiful, expansive soundscapes of the records, derived from seemingly minimal elements, caught the attention of international tastemakers. The album also showcased Nyron's mastery of the bass, his primary instrument.

Tickets available as of Friday 05.12 at 11:00

For fans of Bruno Berle, Nina Maia, Domenico Lancellotti and Nina Miranda

Zoom in

With his self-titled second album in January 2025, Higor has taken a bold step toward more expansive, lyrical territory. The record represents what he describes as "a test of resistance and a big event in my life as a young Black man from the Northeast, coming from a humble background, financially speaking." This political consciousness, woven seamlessly into his work reflects the broader social awareness that characterizes much of the contemporary Northeastern scene.

Higor's compositions and productions emanate a striking natural beauty, with each element—whether wistful trombone, playful organ, or birdlike whistle—carefully positioned amidst the gentle pulse of his bass lines. This attention to space and texture has become a hallmark of his sound. At the heart of his artistry lies a commitment to depth and authenticity. "Above all, I value making music that brings me genuine satisfaction. I'm always looking for depth in the things I create," he explains, embodying the same philosophical approach that drives his peers in the Northeastern scene.

Nyron Higor stands as both an individual visionary and part of a collective voice, helping to reshape contemporary Brazilian music while honoring the rich traditions from which it springs. His journey from the beaches of Maceió to international recognition represents not just personal triumph, but the flowering of an entire regional renaissance that promises to influence Brazilian music for years to come.
