here are a couple new finds:
Andrea Marquee - this is really hot, hard beats, complex rhythms and the
vocals range from aggressive party vibes to more sublime and "traditional"
(in the bossa nova vein), there a nice variety on the cd I picked up
"Zumbi". Some of her songs would work into a set of other female vacalists
a la Jill Scott, new N'Dea...
Lenine - NaPressao - this I would put into a kind of Arto Lindsey camp,
mellow to angst male vocalist, excursions into downtempo as well as
drum and bass. I think they may have transplanted to Brooklyn ( I vaguely
remember a documentary about Brazil music and Summerstage from several
years ago)
Chico Science & nacao Zumbi - this group ramges widely - some of it is hip
hop inflected downbeat, which would definitely fit into much of what is
discussed on the list, some more in the "Urban Dance Squad" early Chili
Peppers blend of funk punk and Hip hop, and still more that is straight
ahead Hardcore.
I would love to know what Hermeto Pascoal is up to these days - he was
also featured in the previously mentioned documentary. A note on
contemporay Brazilian music - there seems to be a fairly good blending of
"ruffness" evident in a certain punk sensibility with the smoothness that
comes out of the bossa nova stuff, really fascinating.
