Lucas Santtana – Brasiliano [No Format!]
“Brasiliano” is the tenth album from singer/guitarist Lucas Santtana. Santtana’s compositions are best described as Brazilian tropicalism. Indeed, the rhythms featured here blends samba, bossa nova with funk and soul. Legendary singer songwriter Gilberto Gil starts off the album with “A historia da nossa lingua”. Fabio Pinczowski’s spicey synth melodies and Rafa Morass’s guitar riffs surround Gil’s smooth vocals seamlessly. “Eu Ainda Te Amo” is a warm and tender ballad featuring rising pop star Rachel Reis. “Que Seje Um Reggae” is filled with warm tropical vibes and features the Brazialian rock band Os Paralamas do Sucesso. Sung in eight different languages, Santtana approaches a number of topics through vibrant melodies and splendid musicianship.
Phylipe Nunes Araújo – Phylipe Nunes Araújo [Far Out Recordings]
The self titled album from Phylipe Nunes Araujo is stripped down intimate Brazilian pop compositions infused with folk sensibilities. Araujo wrote these songs in the scenic landscape of Caruaru, Pernambuco. On his debut he’s joined by multi-instrumentalists Bruno Berle and Batata Boy among others. “Bixin”, written by Ivana Fontes starts out with understated percussion. Araujo’s gentle guitar and falsetto vocals lay the groundwork for an emotional nuanced recording. “Asa” is another emotive number where Araujo treats the tune with tenderness by caressing every lyric. Like the great Brazilian singers before him, Araujo approaches his recordings with an elegant simplicity yet underneath there’s an abundance of passion. Each recording is short and sweet and captures the stylings of traditional Northeastern Brazilian music.
