Various artists - The Now Sound of Brazil
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Various artists - The Now Sound of BrazilBrazilian music, full of sensuous voices and stirring rhythms, may be the sexiest sound around. The languid style fits easily with lounge and electronic dance music, which is where the remixes on this collection are aimed. Bebel Gilberto, daughter of bossa nova master João Gilberto, and Suba, the late producer-turned-recording artist, are the best-known artists here. But the discoveries, including the playful jazz of Bossacucanova and the giddy acoustic jam by samba-rockers Trio Mocotó, are the album’s true delights.
