I’m absolutely loving “Numa Nice Numa Boa” by DJ LK out on Royal Soul Records. The whole album is filled with brazilian style rhythms made with modern feeling and danceable beats. This is a great spring vibe!
Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’77 “After Sunrise” gives the impression of a warm summer day slowly and gently beginning, with chiming string instruments and a wordless female “la-la-la” chorus. Perfect reminder on a dreary late-winter day like today that warmer weather is around the corner.
Available on the massive Icons Vol. 3: Ghetto Funk Remixes album, this is Slynk’s great drum & bass take on Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66’s classic version of “Mas Que Nada,” originally recorded by Jorge Ben.
“Super groovy mix by DJ Neville C., the owner of one of D.C.’s finest record shops, Som Records. Mix was [originally] recorded for the Mellow Madness show on WRIR 97.3 in Richmond, VA.”
Cheick Hamala Diabate is not just an artist but he’s a descendant of Mali’s ancient griot tradition. Washington is fortunate to have him based here and performing regularly. You can get into his sound this Friday along with Los Empresarios and The Sol Power All-Stars!
