Accent on Tampa Bay, CD Review >>

A new sound has emerged from Rio de Janeiro, with THE INSPIRING NEW OF RIO DE JANEIRO. The thirteen tracks combine the pulse of hip hop, funk and jazz with a hard-core commitment to social justice but with a distinctly sunny disposition. At the same time, the music never loses track of its roots in the violence-Rocked slums surrounding Rio. Though many of the songs on the compilation are hard-hitting, the tracks segue from hip hop to samba to dub. The CD features artists such as Gabriel Moura, A Filial, BNegao e Os Seletores de Frequencia, and Digital Dubs.
