Pajeu from Espelho Prata by Kurup

Playing with a broad range of rhythms and melodies inspired by his native Brazil, the Middle East, and beyond, Kurup uses music as a conduit through which to consider questions on life, existence, and what it is to be human.

Choice philosophical musings disguised as dancefloor tracks, Espelho Prata E.P. is the result of deep personal reflection, technical experimentation, and a desire to encourage thoughtful connections in others.

With lyrics penned from a place of personal reflection, the E.P.’s leading track Espelho Prata ponders ontologically on the mystery of life: “Independent of beliefs,” Kurup explains, “we’re all surrounded by the same fundamental questions. What brings us all together is nature and its cycles, like life and death. Espelho Prata translates to "silver mirror" and the E.P. is an expression of gratitude that we belong to the whole, a realization that hits after taking a long metaphorical look in the mirror".
