Audio Rebel: How an Alternative Studio in Rio de Janeiro is Surviving the Pandemic By Julia Garayo Willemyns | 01 April, 2021
I arrive at Audio Rebel, in Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, and am struck by how incongruous the space is from the outside. It seems like a relatively residential area – colonial-style houses covered in graffiti are sandwiched in between high-rise buildings. I text Pedro Azevedo, the owner, and sure enough, he comes out of what looks like a normal house to wave me in.
Exterior of Audio Rebel
Audio Rebel is an independent studio that prides itself in being a gathering place for alternative music. It’s an integral space for alternative music in Rio de Janeiro. In Pedro’s words, “Audio Rebel is an incubator and laboratory where all the major players in the new music scene in Rio have collaborated, a house for exploratory and good music.”
