Known in Brazilian scene for his wide musical culture and sophisticated repertoire, Tahira upholds eclectic and informative Djing based on a mixture of styles. Brazilian, Latin, Afro, Jazz, Soul, Funk, World Music, that is, anything good around the globe, modern and vintage at the same time. No boundaries.

When it comes to Brazilian music he’s a specialist, and one of the few DJs in the world that goes through the complete Brazilian culture. His selecta reaches all the corners of Brazil, further than the samba, very known by Europeans and Americans. He goes to regional styles as well, as Baiao, Maracatu, Instrumental Forro, Coco, Pífano etc, showing in fact the complete Brazilian musical scenario, always spinning traditional and new music.

Most of the DJs who spin Brazilian rhythms go to the fashionable Baile Funk or Brazilian drum n’ bass, but Tahira proves that Brazilian modern music scene produces much more than this. It’s a commitment with good music, representing other kind of brazility and not focusing on traditional samba, but in other different regional styles, showing the real and complete Brazilian music scenario.

His curriculum has four gigs at Brahma International (two consecutive years in Ukraine – Brahma open air in Canada – Brahma Sessions). The closing of Rome Film Festival, Tokyo's Le Baron de Paris, and the underground club Nublu, in New York. Umbria Jazz Festival Opening Party in Belgrade. Casper Festival in Montenegro. Jazzitup parties in Estonia. Nu Spirit Club in Bratislava. Vibe Bar in London. And much more.

His informative side can be checked out on his monthly podcast EBS (www.ebspodcast.com), where he shows new stuff and classics of music around the world, with listeners in Portugal, Japan, USA, Germany and Brazil. He runs a small independent label EBS Diggin discovering new Brazilian talents.

As a producer his music got support by ones as Robert Louis (Tru Thoughts), Pete Issac (Jelly Jazz), Nik Weston (Mukatsuku Recs), John Warr (Afrobase), Mop Mop, DJ DRM (Bastard Jazz), M.Path.iq (We Are...On Air), Dubben, and received compliments from Francois Kervokian : “Fabulous little 7′′ that has been rocking my world “La Cumbia Perdida” (Tahira remix)”

It’s important to mention that Tahira, being an open minded professional, is not just a Brazilian music DJ: his researches also go to Afro, Latin, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Reggae, Disco and his DJing mixes information, fun, eclecticism and technique. Put all these styles and characteristics in a blender and you’ll have a DJ Tahira’s set. Eclectic. Vintage and modern at the same time, without losing his roots.
