Tetine are formed by Brazilian musicians/artists Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado who have been living in Hackney in East London since 2000.

With more than 20 albums released by different record labels in Europe and Brazil (Soul Jazz Records, Slum Dunk, Mr Bongo, Bizarre Music) and several 12-inch singles and compilations, Tetine have been performing in festivals, art galleries, clubs, cinemas and theatres around the world, as well as making appearances on radio shows and devising hybrid and experimental projects around their music and art.

What makes Tetine so good is that their off-beat, messy quality makes them natural, seemingly effortless, and therefore beautiful.” - Vanessa Labi URB, Chicago
