AVILA SANTO
Born in Los Angeles in 1991, Avila Santo is a multidisciplinary artist of Afro-Brazilian and Jewish descent working across music, sound, and ritual. A graduate of Berklee College of Music with a B.A. in Professional Music and Latin Percussion, he is also a Capoeira professor and an initiated Awo of Isese Ifa in Nigeria.
