Free Music Notes for Brazilian Lounge

Free Music Review: Chillin' the Brazilian way
Hit: 5 Stars

Brazilian music is perfect for relaxation; after all,Brazilians invented bossa nova,the most relaxing form of jazz.This compilation is a lower-key,chill-out companion to Putumayo's "Brazilian Groove."

Highlights-
1)Ha Dias-Unusual instrumentation,a nearly-reggae rhythm makes this song particularly catchy.Luca Mundaca's silky voice gives a jazzy flair to the melancholy lyrics about loneliness.
2)Previsao-A joyful song with a retro flavor.BossaCucaNova makes this sound like a Sergio Mendes&Brasil 66 original.
3)Agua de Coco-Another song with unusual instrumentation&danceable rhythm makes this catchy.Very funky.
4)Mariana-This song has a reggae rhythm (making it samba-reggae,perhaps?)Since it is a simple tune,it will stick in your memory.
5)E Depois-BiD (who collaborated with the late Brazilian music master Suba)collaborates with Seu Jorge on a song that sounds like a theme to an '80s primetime drama like "Dallas" or "Falcon Crest."
6)August Day Song (King Britt remix)-I had the "Tanto Tempo Remixes" album loooong before I got "Brazilian Lounge." I don't get it why Putumayo chose to borrow from Six Degrees (which is great with world techno,while Putumayo is great at world acoustic).This is a great song;it's on a Putumayo compilation 5 years after it was released (Bebel Gilberto has been famous for awhile now).Great remix,"funkified" according to the "Tanto Tempo Remixes" liner notes by Philadelphia DJ King Britt.
7)Saudade Fez Um Samba-Another happy song with sad lyrics.The title translates as "Sadness made a samba."

This compilation is a must for any Brazilian collection!

Brazilian Lounge Poster

It is impossible to deny the influence that Brazil has on today?s global culture. From music and film to fashion and dance, Brazil has become one of the world?s most important resources of popular art and entertainment. Brazilian Lounge is a collection featuring the sultry voices and urban grooves of many of Brazil?s finest contemporary musicians.

Brazilian Lounge will take the listener to the contemporary bars and lounges of Rio and Sao Paulo, where a new generation of musicians is reinvigorating the classic sounds of samba and bossa nova.Tri-lingual liner notes include a recipe for a caipirinha cocktail, provided by Sagatiba, enabling you to quench your thirst Brazilian style.

A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to Rukha, a non-profit organization working to change the current condition of street children in Brazil.


Putumayo's latest excursion into chill-out features twelve urbane tracks that, even at their most laid-back (and Brazilians have raised this state of being to an art form) are saturated with a languid, sweaty tropical ardor. Icy, metronome-like beats and electronica are powerless against a Carioca heat-wave, just as a cold Brahma cerveja (beer), while momentarily refreshing, cannot affect prevailing weather patterns. But the irrepressively creative mixmasters of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro seem to revel in these very incongruities, frosting florid acoustic sounds and warmly human vocals with subtle yet transformative computer-generated wizardry. Notable tracks include "E Depois" by singer/actor Seu Jorge (City Of God, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zizzou) and emerging star Luca Mundaca's "Há Dias." In Bebel Gilberto's "August Day Song," romance is compared to a drenching downpour; her slightly nostalgic style often evokes that of her father, sixties icon, João Gilberto. Additional reasons to purchase the album -- the trilingual liner notes offer a recipe for the national caipirinha cocktail and a portion of profits from the CD will be donated to Rukha, an organization dedicated to rescuing Brazil's street children. --Christina Roden
