“Quinta Essência: 75-25” is not just Carlão’s new album: it is a summary, in record form, of all the facets that make up one of the most iconic artists of his generation, first in Da Weasel as Pacman, then branching out into many other projects and sonic territories. In an interview with BLITZ, the artist reflects on 50 years of life, the music he embraced early and late, the politics he never disconnected from, and even the time he wrote about 2Pac.
