Branko Socks
After making a breakthrough on the Portuguese dance music scene in the early 2000s with Buraka Som Sistema, João Barbosa, also known as Branko, released his first solo project, “Atlas,” in 2015. Known for his DJ sets featuring music from all corners of the globe, Branko is now a true citizen of the world. In addition to being a DJ and musician, Branko is also a successful producer, having worked with artists such as Santigold and M.I.A. The socks created from this collaboration are inspired by the identity of one of the most internationally renowned Portuguese artists.
This collection is the result of a joint initiative by Sock Affairs, the Portuguese Association for Music Education (APEM), and the invited artists.
The goal of this charitable initiative is to raise funds for “Cantar Mais,” an APEM project that supports the musical development and education of children and young people in Portugal.
