Emicida’s Silêncio x Deezer wins CICLOPE Latino Grand Prix

Deezer and AKQA’s Silêncio, for Emicida has received the top honour of a Grand Prix in the fifth edition of the CICLOPE Latino awards.

The one minute film was created for the release of rapper Emicida’s album AmarElo. Entitled Silêncio, the track translates music into audiovisual language. Emicida’s album represents a new moment, seeking reconciliation and connection; silence enables clarity of ideas. Available only on Deezer, Silêncio also became a music video, encouraging viewers to look at the featured characters and understand each other and their message. All streaming income from the track will be donated to the Socio Ambiental Institute, supporting traditional communities in Brazil.

A person in a long coat stands alone on a theater stage under a bright spotlight, facing an audience seated in dimly lit, ornate balconies.

A person with a beard and glasses looks into the camera. They wear a patterned shirt and have a small green plant tucked behind their ear. The image is dimly lit, and their hand is raised in the foreground, slightly out of focus.
