Sessa – Pequena Vertigem de Amor [Mexican Summer]
“Pequena Vertigem de Amor” is the third album from Sergio Sayeg, aka Sessa. Recorded on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, the album finds Sessa in a new chapter in his life. He recently became a father and suddenly he had a purpose greater than music.. Fatherhood played a role in his songwriting approach for this project. The music of Erasmo Carlo’s 1972 album “Sonhos e Memorias” also is a heavy influence as well. Evidence is found in “Bicho Lento”, filled with blissful flute arrangements courtesy of Alex Chumak (Soyuz). Sessa’s feathery vocals and gentle guitar are simply sublime. “Nome de Deus” is modal Jazz meets Samba. “Vale a Pena” is a melodic tune aided by warm female vocal harmonies. Sessa incorporates a Suette electric piano, an obscure Brazilian keyboard comparable to the fender rhodes. Cecilia Goes, Lau Ra, Ina & Paloma Mecozzi are the vocalists who are at Sessa’s side throughout the album. Sessa stretches the boundaries of traditional Brazilian music with inspiration from his soul music influences. Unlike “Grandeza” which is delightful in its own right, the inclusion of piano and synths here takes this record to another level.

Sunborn meets Clap Clap – Earth Is Begging [Wah Wah 45s]
“Earth Is Begging” is a collaboration between Danish instrumental sextet Sunborn and Italian DJ/Prodcuer Clap Clap. Their project is a global melting pot of infectious electronic production and live instrumentation. Sunborn has built a worldwide following due to their vibrant rhythm section and soulful horns. Clap Clap has amassed an array of electronic dance floor compositions and remixes. The sizzling opener “Acaraje do Salmao” erupts with fiery percussion and Middle Eastern rhythms. “Nigeria 1984” is Afrobeat grooves meets Belearic textures. The genre bending grooves will transport you to a Summertime party on the beach. Afrobeat star Dele Sosimi jumps on the title track, a simmering mid-tempo tune. The sunny vibes flow throughout this album. Lay your burdens down and let these feel good compositions sink into your body.
