[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][vc_separator color=”black”][vc_column_text]Alexandre Francisco Diaphra is a Portuguese beatmaker, MC and multimedia artist of\u00a0Bissau-Guinean and Angolan descent. He creates a music which mixes rhythms from West Africa, poetry, jazz and hip hop influences. He took part to the albums and European tours of Batida, an Angolan afro-electro.\u00a0In july 2015, he released the first album of his solo project :
\nDiaphra\u2019s Blackbook of the Beats on the Swiss label Mental Groove : \u00ab One of those concept albums that you listen in one go, slightly magic and organic, which leads us in a psychedelic journey across experimental jazz, abstract beat, aerial hip-hop, while allowing tryout and mistakes. The sweet voice of AF Diaphra delivers words coated with Portuguese poetry by speaking, rapping or singing. \u00bb (Djolo).<\/p>\n

He shows his whole creative process in his 30 minutes film produced by Manuel Bello and himself which comes along with his album. Half documentary and half imaginary, the video depicts the artist, his words and his wanderings in Lisbon streets.
\nAF Diaphra is currently preparing for the release of \u00ab EVMS \u00bb, a new album conceived in the aesthetic and narrative continuity of the \u00ab Black Book of the Beats \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Pursuing an identity quest connected both to Yoruba culture and Portuguese saudade, he depicts an intimate and universal portrait of a young man of African background evolving in a multicultural and bustling city.<\/p>\n

The multimedia artist is now working on a new project : a series of live, interactive
\nperformances around the world called #FolhasBrancas (#WhitePages) culminating in an\u00a0exhibition in 2020. A transdisciplinary narrative which emerged during a residency at\u00a0the Center of African Arts and Culture of Iwalewahaus in Bayreuth and the wanders of AF Diaphra through its collections of films, sounds, and objects.<\/p>\n
