  Brazilian Groove
 
 
The international electronica wave Brazilian style- Samba and bossa nova hop on the International electronica wave, and also add a bit of funk and soul, as the new generation of Brazilian musicians shake up tradition. Rosalia de Souza stays rooted in the traditional sounds of Bilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, but mixes things up with contemporary club beats; Zuco 103 creates a totally new sound keeping a bossa nova back beat, but stirring in pop melodies, trip-hop ambience, and smoky jazz trumpet; Aleh introduces a bright electric guitar back drop, a surprisingly successful combination; Barrio Jazz Gang offers a mellow jazz-infused bossa nova track laced with surreal electronic dubs. Tracks range from traditional sounding to pop-like to jazzy-funky-carribean mixes, such as Electro Coco's danceable "Coco do Mundo.

Putumayo World Music proudly presents Brazilian Groove, an alluring collection of Brazilian music. The classic sound of the past meets the voices of the future on this hip selection. A number of the artists who appear on Brazilian Groove, Max de Castro, Carlinhos Brown, and Rosalia de Souza, are the children of bossa nova's biggest stars. Some use contemporary instruments like samplers, turntables and computers to add new elements to the classic bossa sound. Others simply seek to excel at a faithful interpretation of the classics. Still others write new material that does not imitate pure samba and bossa nova, but is clearly inspired by it.

The result is a "nova bossa nova" a new bossa nova that maintains recognizable links to the jazzy, samba sounds of a generation ago, while propelling the music forward in new and exciting directions. Romantic, richly melodic, subtly rhythmic, and entrancing, the songs on Brazilian Groove are perfect mood music that captures the magic of yesterday and the invention of tomorrow.

This is a really good selection of chillout among others offered at YOOYORK webstore. Putumayo explores different rhythms and beats all over the world. And talking about Brazil, rhythms and beats are all around.

I recommend.
