Various Artists - Brazilian Beats Brooklyn
Mr Bongo RecordsMr Bongo is back with another stunning compilation, which has been put together by Sean Marquand and Greg Caz. It's named after their weekly night in Brooklyn, NYC, a night which must be pretty special judging by the tracklistings here. Twenty two tracks in total which obviously are Brazilian influenced but with sprinklings of soul, funk and disco. Disco is one thing I wouldn't expect to work with a Brazilian vocal but listen to Silvio Casar's "A Festa" and you'll be sure to change your mind. Chalo Eduardo's "Beija-Flor Suite" will blow any dancefloor apart and the rest of the selections are simply top notch. Miss at your peril.
