Alcides Neto is a Brazilian-born, Naarm-based composer, guitarist, and percussionist. His music is rooted in the rich traditions of Brazilian culture and shaped by the experience of living far from home.

With a percussive approach to guitar, inspired by Afro-Brazilian rhythms, Alcides creates a dynamic, textured sound that brings warmth to his music.

Since moving to Naarm in 2014, he has become a dedicated contributor to the local scene, inviting audiences into the joy and complexity of Brazilian music. His performances blend tradition with experimentation, offering space for reflection, celebration, and connection.

In late 2022, Alcides released his debut single “Partindo Alto”, a playful nod to the samba subgenre Partido Alto. His first full-length album, recorded in 2024 and set for release in 2026, features eight tracks that reimagine traditional Brazilian genres through a contemporary lens.
