Nídia + Valentina

Nídia and Valentina Magaletti are two visionary artists redefining the possibilities of rhythm and sound.

An acclaimed Afro-Portuguese producer and DJ, Nídia has been a driving force in reshaping kuduro and batida, blending raw energy with intricate electronic textures. Rooted in the underground club scenes of Lisbon and Bordeaux, her work with Príncipe Discos has brought progressive aesthetics and deep cultural storytelling to the global dance landscape.

Valentina Magaletti is a drummer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist known for her inventive approach to percussion. Moving fluidly between experimental and mainstream worlds, she sculpts rhythm with an ever-evolving palette—ceramic drums, contact microphones, and found objects—creating hypnotic sonic landscapes that defy convention.

Together, they promise a performance where tradition and futurism collide—pulsing with raw intensity, deep rhythmic exploration, and the boundless freedom of sound.
