> red,hot + rio is a decent sampler, imo...
The jungle-samba cut by Everything But the Grrrl kicks it all out. I was quite impressed. Didn't know Ms. EBtG had such a sure command of the mellifluous Portugeazy tongue. Don't get all freudian now.
The Sakamoto + ...(was it Nascimento?... can't recall) cut is quite fine, as are many others. An interesting experiment, this record, and it succeeds about half the time, which is quite a good hit/miss ratio, considering the number of trax. M. Monte gives us her toosexyforabeat vox.
Love the two records of Marina Lima. Some quite fascinating fusions that will move you, a Brazil nightclub of sensuous moods.
