Bixiga 70 - Quebra Cabeça CD (Mega Blowout Sale)
SKU
23-GBCD 063
Excellent and TIGHT 10 piece, instrumental Brazilian band who fuse Afrobeat stylings with Brazilian influences to come up with a different spin on a familiar sound.
“São Paulo's acclaimed ten-piece instrumental collective return for their fourth album, Quebra Cabeça. Urban Afro-Brazilian grooves, empowered horn-driven melodicism, and massive dancefloor inspiration. One of South America's most exhilarating musical propositions.
Almost four centuries after the first slave ships loaded their cargoes and set sail, the connection between Brazil and West Africa remains firm and deep. Africa is everywhere in Brazil, and it pulses through the music on Quebra Cabeça ("Puzzle"), where two continents dance together across the black Atlantic. Bixiga 70 have created hybrid in their music --with each member pulling from candomblé (the African-Caribbean religion), jazz, reggae, dub -- and each influence takes on a slightly different form.”
