Born and raised in Quinta do Mocho, Fábio “Famifox” and Miguel “Nunex” share their São Toméan origin, family, friendship, and the dream of creating music. In 2007, they made the first important decision of their lives: inspired by their neighbors Nigga Fox, Marfox, Nervoso, and Firmeza, they traded their Xbox for computers that would allow them to make music. Tracks like “Directamente” (2015), which opens CARGAA 2 by British label Warp Records, “Kapiro” (2017), “Puntada” (2018), “Lendário” (2019), and “Durante” (2020), featured on the compilation Enchufada na Zona, vol. 2, served as their business cards for entering the world where they had always dreamed of performing. In 2022, they reached the legendary Jazz Café in London and crossed the Atlantic to perform at Sonorama club in Medellin and Octava Club in Bogotá.
In their latest album, Different (2022), they express themselves through strong beats and a desire to make the world dance. They bring the warm sounds of São Tomé in their music, mixing tradition with the various languages of Afro House.
