I don't know if the people of Rio have caught on to this shining tribute to their city yet, but I sure as hell would love to be the one to bring it to them. I've never been, but Theo's Rio has given me a clear picture of how pleasant it must be. Every time I listen to it, it's like daydreaming back to that 19502s Rio or some Hunter S. Thompson tropic stupor. Either way, Theophilus London and his Menahan Street Band have made me dream in Rio. I can't wait for the sunny [...]

Tired of the same old 2-step? Omulu from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is a producer who indulges in a dance music ritual containing diverse tropical rhythms like "tecnobrega, cumbia, moombahton, kuduro, 3 ball, and even funk and dubstep." If you don't know what half of these terms mean, you're not alone. One thing that's certain is Omulu lends himself well to a kick in your ass (with tropical sandals). It seems wrong that this guy only has a few hundred soundcloud followers. Check this guy out! Omulu Facebook Fan Page [...]

When in Rio, I decided to visit a favela. I wrestled with this - going to a favela felt a bit like going to point and stare. I decided not to go on a favela tour but instead go on a new cable car to Complexo do Alemão favela in the north of the city. The cable car connects Complexo do Alemão wih Bonsucesso station, which is a short trip from Rio's Central Station. [...]
Rio de Janeiro's Liz Christine approaches sampling with an innocent sensibility that hides a unique intuition for combining appealing sounds to become more than the sum of their parts. It's that knack for listenability that makes it hard to distinguish much of her work as ambient per se. It's extremely involving, even solicitous, in its ability to actively involve a listener in its strange webs of "winter music." The track "Green Eyes Girl" comes to us from her latest release, Sweet Mellow Cat , a compilation of work culled from the past several years. Intangible household animals, soft mutters, [...]

Stevie Wonder in Rio Gilberto Gil certainly did not disappoint either. His performance was powerful as always and his tribute to Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethania recently [...]

Três Valetes e uma Dama is a group based in bossa nova’s motherland of Rio De Janeiro. The quartet is comprised of Mariana Mello (Drums and Vocals), Pedro Rodriguez (Percussion and Vocals), Diego Moreira (Guitar and Vocals) and Thiago Gama (Cavaco and Mandolin). As the name suggests (translates to three jacks and a queen in English) the band is comprised of 3 men and one lady. However, the name may take a doubly meaning as they appear to be jacks of all trades, performing bossa nova, choro, samba and forró. Naturally, we will focus on bossa nova. Below is a [...]
