Narrated by singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart, The Existential Adventures of Tim Maia: Nobody Can Live Forever is the story of Tim Maia, possibly the greatest (and craziest) soul singer you never heard of.
Created in a close collaboration between creative digital agency SuperHeroes Amsterdam [1], creative production agency ShopAround [2] and record label Luaka Bop, this animated biography has been made to celebrate the release of Luaka Bop’s Nobody Can Live Forever: The Existential Soul of Tim Maia, a re-mastered fifteen-track survey of Maia's 1970s recordings.
Shop illustrators Momo and Sprits [3] created all the artwork in their signature lively retro illustration style, while Fred Huergo, Zoltan Korai and David Schagerström animated the film.
Infamous in Brazil, Maia was a soul grenade that exploded in the 70s. He single-handedly revolutionized Brazilian popular music and had the best time ever doing it. His story is one of humorous excess in every way imaginable with something for all the family: drugs, women, money, guns and even a UFO cult thrown in.
