Hello Sonoritmicos! In this week’s podcast we bring you some tasty bits o’ funk from mighty Brasil; a country that perhaps hasn’t been getting as much attention from the groove digging community as say, West Africa or Colombia, but that nevertheless continues to intrigue us for it’s immense wealth of musical delights. In this podcast you’ll find funky moments in all its forms from straight up funk as in Toni Tornado’s “Podes Creer”, to the glossier slick bossa funk you find in Claudia’s “Salve Raina” , as well as some exciting covers of American funk, which you’ll hear in the shuffling batucada tinged, “Pick up the Pieces” by Wilson das Neves e su conjunto. Also check out Cassiano’s hypnotic laid back track “Onda” a track that’s been staying in our head with its catchy groove. We’re sure these tracks will stick in your head too! Enjoy… EB & CG
