5.0 out of 5 stars Brazil's +2 just keep getting better, May 11, 2008

This review is from: Futurismo (Audio CD)

This is the third (and possibly best) album by the Brazilian avant-pop trio of Domenico Lancellotti , Moreno Veloso and producer-guitarist Kassin -- collectively known as the "+2".

Each of the +2-ers has made a mark for themselves working with various artists on and off the Brazilian pop radar, but Kassin may be cutting the largest swath, producing records for a wide variety of younger artists, including work with Bebel Gilberto, Thalma de Freitas and the Orquestra Imperial (which is more or less an expanded version of the +2 band...)

Here on his own "solo" album, Kassin fully explores the smooth, swank, easygoing Latin-pop-lounge vibe he's worked on elsewhere, and the results are simply yummy. Soft-salsa, samba, funk, dub, surf, rock and electronica all merge together with the delicious, all-encompassing ease that typifies the best of Brazilian pop. There's are wide variety of textures and tones, and all of it sounds alluring and fresh. One of the most subtle and subtly challenging Brazilian pop albums of recent vintage, the sound of a younger generation branching out and finding a global audience. Well worth checking out!

I hope these guys keep making original music CDs with Luaka Bop for a long time!......And......Especially if they some day choose to perform with any other great MPB Artists like Moreno Veloso's "Paizinho Ce" Caetano Veloso and even better with Tom Ze, Gilberto Gil, or even David Byrne of all people! ......One can only dream, Right? Hey!......Where is the follow up DVD of "The +2s Ao Vivo ?
