Pompano
Biribá Union
Release Date: January 13, 2026
Biribá Union unites the distinct voices of Mike Block, Christylez Bacon, and Patricia Ligia, weaving Brazilian traditions with hip-hop, Go-go, jazz, and American roots. “Pompano” distills their sound into a vibrant, improvisation-rich track that moves between lyricism, pulse, and spontaneous interplay.
BIRIBÁ UNION
Borrowing its name from a Brazilian wild sugar-apple, Biribá Union features Mike Block (cello, vocals), Christylez Bacon (beatbox, guitar, rhymes) and Patricia Ligia (electric bass, vocals). The trio met through Silkroad’s Global Musician Workshop, initially bonding over their shared love of Brazilian music. They quickly began co-writing new music that draws on the freestyle theatrics of hip-hop and Go-go music; the effortless beauty of Brazilian forró and choro; the earthiness of American roots music, and the improvisational spontaneity of jazz.
