Samba and bossa nova hop on the International electronica wave and also add a bit of funk and soul, as the new generation of Brazilian musicians shake up tradition. Rosalia de Souza stays rooted in the traditional sounds of Bilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, but mixes things up with contemporary club beats; Zuco 103 creates a totally new sound keeping a bossa nova back beat, but stirring in pop melodies, trip-hop ambience, and smoky jazz trumpet; Aleh introduces a bright reggae guitar back drop, a surprisingly successful combination; Barrio Jazz Gang offers a mellow jazz-infused bossa nova track laced with surreal electronic dubs. Tracks range from traditional sounding to pop-like to jazzy-funky-carribean mixes, such as Electro Coco’s danceable “Coco do Mundo.” A collection of successful, interesting mixes.
