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.

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 […]
