When one thinks of AIDS research, very rarely does the topic of Brazilian Tropicália music from the 1960s emerge. But the AIDS charity Red Hot put the two together back in 1996 for an album to benefit AIDS research and prevention and they're doing it again with the sequel, Red Hot + Rio 2 , which hits stores June 28th.
