Gustavo Mioto brings suffering with new arrangements for Carnival: 'We suffer in axé, jumping and dancing'

Gustavo Mioto reflects on the emotional depth of his music while preparing for his performance at Carnival in São Paulo.

Gustavo Mioto, a Brazilian singer known for his romantic ballads, recently launched a new song titled "DNA" which delves into the emotional aftermath of a breakup. In an interview, he revealed how he struggled with his emotions while presenting the song, showing a personal connection to his work. Despite this emotional core, Mioto believes that the essence of Carnival can also accommodate feelings of sorrow, suggesting that even in festive environments, there is space for vulnerability and reflection.

As he prepares his trio elétrico to participate in the Carnival with his bloc "Solteiro não trai," Mioto expresses his conviction that Carnival can blend with various emotions, including sadness. He asserts that within the space of his performance, audiences will undoubtedly feel some measure of sorrow as they engage with his music, yet there is also a joyful rhythm in axé that allows them to dance and celebrate despite the underlying pain. This perspective underscores the complexity of human emotions that can coexist during the festivities.

Mioto’s comments highlight a broader cultural theme in Brazil where music, particularly during Carnival, often traverses the entire spectrum of human experience, allowing people to process their emotions through dance and celebration. His approach to integrating themes of suffering into a joyous occasion offers a refreshing take on how artists can connect deeply with their audience and enrich the Carnival experience with emotional authenticity.
