Experience Sudan Archives live on September 27th

Sudan Archives, the stage name of Brittney Denise Parks, will perform at the Balaclava Festival in São Paulo, Brazil on September 27, 2026. Her musical style is often described as experimental R&B, drawing heavily on her Sudanese heritage and incorporating elements of electronic music, violin loops, and traditional African rhythms. Critics frequently note her innovative use of vocal processing and looping techniques to create layered and textured soundscapes. Sudan Archives initially gained recognition for self-released EPs before signing with Stones Throw Records and releasing her critically acclaimed debut album, *Athena* in 2019, followed by *Natural Brown Prom Queen* in 2022.

Balaclava Festival is an independent music festival focused on showcasing forward-thinking electronic music and visual arts. Established in Prague in 2018 by a collective of artists and promoters, it quickly became known for its curated lineups emphasizing boundary-pushing artists across genres like techno, experimental electronica, bass music and ambient. The festival expanded internationally in 2024 with an edition in São Paulo, aiming to create a space for diverse sounds and a strong sense of community within the Brazilian electronic music scene.
