Atlântico Negro

Nylon-string melodies meeting 808 pulses. A sun-drenched, melancholic meditation on Afro-Brazilian identity and the pull of the Atlantic.

May 1, 2010

A warm, coastal reflection that balances rhythmic brightness with a deep, historical soulfulness.

Moments Worth Listening For

The seamless transition from the brief title track into the rhythmic pulse of Jejum/Cavaleiro de Aruanda.

The way the acoustic guitar on Frágil seems to float over a bone-dry electronic beat.

The unexpected shift into the closing Rap Guerra do Iraque which grounds the album's beauty in political reality.
