Filipe Coimbra on Mixing Vintage Guitars with Digital Sounds | Off the Record (Ep. 05)

In this episode of Off the Record, Brazilian guitarist and producer Filipe Coimbra shares the journey that took him from hiding away in his room as a teenager in São Gonçalo to standing on the Grammy stage. Filipe’s sound is all about contrasts—mixing vintage Giannini guitars with digital pedalboards, creating gritty lo-fi textures one moment and wild psychedelic solos the next. Along the way, he’s won a Grammy with Os Garotin, recorded with legends like Erasmo Carlos, and lived out his dream of performing with Milton Nascimento during his unforgettable Tiny Desk Concert. More than anything, Filipe’s story is about curiosity. From building a rubber guitar bridge out of a bike tire to literally shouting into his pickups, he shows how experimentation and play can open new sound worlds. Whether as a Brazilian music producer, a collaborator with artists like Mahmundi, or simply a restless creator, Filipe is constantly pushing to find new sounds waiting to be discovered. Off the Record is an original series by Moises exploring music production and the creative process. It brings together musicians and producers to unpack the sounds, ideas, and studio moments that leave a lasting impact on the music scene.
