Tim Maia - Sossego (Jorge Quental Rework)

"Brasil" is a timeless anthem that captured Brazil’s political transition, originally dropped by the legendary Cazuza in '88 on his Ideologia album. Back then, Cazuza wasn’t just making music—he was making statements, challenging the political system and the media at a time when the country was emerging from dictatorship.

Later that year, the incredible Gal Costa took "Brasil" and flipped it, blending samba and rock to create a powerful version that became an instant cultural and political icon.

Fast forward to today, and we’ve got Ramiro Galas paying homage to this classic in his own unique way. His version brings that deep Miami Bass groove while still keeping the heart and soul of Gal Costa’s powerful vocals alive.

It’s all about balance—preserving the essence of the original while introducing fresh, new elements that give it that 2024 energy. Ramiro nailed it.

This remix hits you with the perfect blend—respecting the roots while inviting you to move, reflect, and feel every beat. Ramiro breathes new life into "Brasil," updating it for a new generation without ever losing its revolutionary soul.

In VP Leone’s edit of "A Cegonha Me Deixou Em Madureira," we’re treated to a fresh reimagining of Jorge Ben’s unmistakable sound, deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Brazilian music. Ben's work is a cornerstone of samba rock, a genre that blends the syncopated rhythms of samba with the energy of rock and roll.

This track bridges the gap between MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) and bossa nova, two quintessential Brazilian styles. The unmistakable guitar work from the original track, a hallmark of MPB, is carefully preserved, while VP Leone’s production leans into contemporary nu-disco aesthetics, adding a smooth bassline and polished reverb that elevate the track’s atmosphere. This fusion of old and new underscores Ben’s innate ability to create timeless music that thrives in various musical contexts.

Leone’s edit also taps into the balearic beat genre with its laid-back yet immersive vibe. The remix emphasizes melodic flow, drawing on funk carioca grooves while subtly incorporating the syncopation of Afro-Brazilian rhythms. This clever layering of genres creates a sonic experience that feels both globally inclusive and distinctly Brazilian.

The album Alma em Sol by Gaspar Muniz and Beno is a sonic dive that blends modern rhythms with Brazilian sensibility. This EP explores genre fusion, stirring a deep emotional connection through frequencies and harmonies. The duo creates a natural dialogue between electronic and acoustic elements, drawing influences from MPB and experimental electronic music. The album features four original tracks and one remix, and is set to be released this Friday, October 12th, 2024, in Lisbon.

What makes Alma em Sol such a relevant work is its ability to stay deeply connected to the present while maintaining its essence. The album feels both contemporary and timeless. At a time when electronic music often prioritizes beats over soul, it's refreshing to find a project that balances these two forces so well.

If you're looking for a musical experience that goes beyond the ordinary, Alma em Sol is your next destination. Listen to the preview here on SoundCloud and pre-order it now on Bandcamp — just click the link in our bio!

A track born on the road during a journey across the vast landscapes of the United States, inspired by endless horizons and late-night vibes soundtracked by the unmistakable voice of Adriana Calcanhotto, the legendary Brazilian singer-songwriter. Portuguese artist C4STRO dives deep into these moments, revisiting a time when Adriana’s music was his biggest connection to Brazil.

The result is a powerful reimagination of "Maresia," a track that preserves the essence of the original while injecting a modern, dancefloor-driven pulse. It’s poetic, soulful, and carries the kind of vibe that lingers long after the music fades.
