Martinho da Vila, “Lusofonia” (2000)
I’ve been meaning to post about this album for the longest. I was introduced to it around 2007 and it became a fast favorite, introducing me to rhythms, history, artists, and lands of the “Lusophone” world.

Catching Flies "Quiet Nights"
Catching Flies DID IT with this track and I love it soo much. He flipped the classic bossa nova and jazz standard \”Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Corcovado),\” written in Portuguese by Tom Jobim and English by Gene Lees. Astrud Gilberto sings the vocals, which have been slowed a bit for this song and I […]

Sango – Da Rocinha 2
This was released January 14, 2014. Sorry I took so long! I honestly don’t like to say too much about the music I post, I want you to experience it for yourself. The whole album is dope, but one of my favorite tracks is “Baile Somebody”. You’ll recognize the sample from Aaliyah’s “Are You That […]
