Editorial Reviews

Who knew that combining booming Miami bass booty sounds, super cheesey ‘80s samples and loud Brazilian beats in a deliberately lo-tech manner, with (honestly) poorly shouted off-key rhymes sung atop the whole distorted, chaotic business would provide some of the most amazing dance music of the ‘00s? Like the best punk rock, this Brazilian dance music clearly aims to be as stupid as possible and just get people moving. But, as with "Mulher Coca Cola" by Ricardo E Esquisito, and De Falla's " Popozuda Rock'n'roll," the result is, often enough, sublimely brilliant. Even the songs that don't really work, such as MC Jack E Chocolate's choppy, opera-sampling "Pavaroty," are worth repeated listens. People are writing their dissertations on this stuff right now, while at the beyond-bump-and-grind-heavy parties this music fuels in Brazil, girls allegedly wake up pregnant a month later without knowing who the father is. So, use this music responsibly, kids! --Mike McGonigal

Product Description

The first ever compilation of pure Rio Baile Funk published outside of Brazil, Haaksman has selected the finest funk tunes of recent years. Amongst them are hits like MC Serghinos 'Pocotopocoto', Bonde Do Tiagros 'O Baile Todo' or MCs Naldinho & Beths 'Tapinha'. Songs that were so big, they were sung in Rio's soccer arenas. Plus there's the best underground anthems such as the Rick Rubin/Russel Simmons tribute 'Popozuda Rock n'Roll' by De Falla, or the track 'C.I.D.A.D.E. D.E. D.E.U.S.', produced by DJ Malboro, that worships the favela City of God (as featured in the film). At the end of the CD there's a samba version medley of various big funk tunes. Essay Recordings. 2005. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I like about half of these tracks, which makes this better than most cd's I've heard in the past few years. The rawness/energy is like that of early 80's hip hop/electro-funk or mid 80's bass. It definitely makes you want to move. I'm glad that I own it. Now I just need to find some more of this stuff. Several of the tracks have the same basic rhythm, similar to how multiple artists will release their own version of a dancehall reggae riddim. The overall sound is of bass beats starting and stopping, mixed with traditional(?) Brazilian drums, a little electronica here and there, and energetic raps/chants. Very nice mixture. One of the tracks sounds like a carnival song with drop bass.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential CD for anyone who likes dance parties!, July 15, 2005

This is a really great album with many different sounding songs. I can't even begin to rate the tracks individually because they're all very good in their own ways. I find myself putting this on repeat all the time because it's just that good! If you listen to this and DON'T like it just give it a few more listens and it will probably grow on you. This music makes me wish I had a booty to shake...but I don't. Hehe.
