Meet Hodari: The Brazilian Sensation Redefining Music’s Emotional Landscape
A Name with a Twist
Get ready to meet Hodari, a Brazilian artist whose name is a cheeky twist of “Iradoh,” spun backward. While "irado" in Brazilian slang screams “dope” or “badass,” its literal meaning is “angry.” This playful contradiction mirrors the essence of Hodari’s music, where sultriness collides with raw emotional introspection.
The Heart of Brasília
Hodari, hailing from the vibrant capital of Brasília, is not just a singer and songwriter but also a musician and model. His sound effortlessly dances between R&B, pop, and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), grounded in irresistible sex appeal and thoughtful lyrics that dig deep into the nuances of modern love.
A Stripped-Down Experience
If you haven’t caught his episode of Goma Sessions, you’re in for a treat. Premiering exclusively on PopMatters, Hodari delivers stunning, intimate renditions of “Sem Menage,” “S.E.X.O.,” and “Siricutico” from his Latin Grammy-nominated album Hodari (2022). Picture this: an inviting apartment bathed in sunset light, where Hodari alternates between acoustic and electric guitar, turning his performance into a sonic diary exploring themes of passion and vulnerability.
Inside the Goma Sessions
The brainchild of Brazilian filmmaker Gabriel Cupaiolo (a.k.a. KVPA), Goma Sessions is all about creating a warm, homey environment that has hosted legendary artists like Mano Brown and Hermeto Pascoal. Think of it as a cozy living room concert that captures the authenticity of live performance—easy, raw, and soulful. With over ten sessions filmed in the same intimate apartment, each episode aims to bring viewers a slice of artists’ lives and creativity.
What to Expect Next?
Filmed in early 2024, Hodari’s session follows the release of his 2022 album and teases the excitement building for his upcoming project, Iradoh (2025). This new album promises to keep fans enchanted with its sultry, sexy compositions, breathing new life into his signature blend of voice and guitar.
A Visual Narrative of Emotion
In Goma Sessions, Hodari emerges not only as a performer but also as a reflective narrator guiding us through his emotional labyrinth. The series does a fantastic job of combining live music with a cinematic touch, capturing the essence of Hodari—his voice, guitar, skin, and soul all laid bare.
