Garoa Beats by Pharaoh with Raccoon's Band

Garoa Beats is a sonic walk through São Paulo under the rain. A 16-track album that transforms the city into a neo-noir lo-fi landscape: dawn in the subway, cozy coffee shops on Augusta Street, endless drizzle over Paulista Avenue, samba echoes in Bixiga, and the late-night silence at Estação da Luz.

Produced by A.T. Pharaoh with the support of the imaginary band Raccoon and the Invisible Band, the record blends lo-fi hip hop, jazzhop, and Brazilian soul — warm Rhodes piano, distant saxophones, mellow electric bass, nylon guitar, and subtle percussion like pandeiro and tamborim. All wrapped in tape hiss, vinyl crackle, and field recordings of the metropolis.

Each track is an intimate fragment of São Paulo’s everyday life: from the first train of the morning to the sunset over Minhocão and the calm of Ibirapuera Park. A soundtrack for studying, writing, relaxing, or simply sipping a hot coffee while the city slows down under the drizzle.

Raccoon and the Invisible Band is a secret fellowship of anonymous musicians who embrace invisibility as their stage. Guided by the raccoon traveler, they reinvent echoes of lost songs into lo-fi jazz, ambient realms and cabaret whispers. Through the Echoes of All Worlds Project, their transmissions drift as sonic postcards — fragments of memory, silence and resonance across universes.
