<div><p>"a whole new world is about to open up......Nearly every
track delves into a different northeastern rhythm, always careful to
avoid overpowering acoustic recordings with heavy effects – even the
faint strains of triangle, a staple instrument in the region, carry

is back with the third volume of their compilation series. This time,
the focus is North and North-East Brazil, a region with a large
Afro-descendant population, and a music scene that is heavily influenced
by Caribbean sounds. This association with the Caribbean has helped
foment a pride in Afro-Brazilian and Black culture in general. The
result is a transnational stew where Coco meets Dancehall, Forró meets
Dubstep, and Brega meets Moombahton. Carimbó with Wobble Bass, glitched
out Dub Coco, Bahian Hip Hop Ragga, Moombahton Samba, to Maracatu Samba
Dub Hip Hop and frenetic punked out Frevotron.</p><p>FurmigaDub, from
João Pessoa, brings his trademark wobbles as well as a slittery guitar
melodies to this Reggaeton Carimbó track, Saudadidela; hailing from
Arcoverde, in the heart of Pernambuco, Radiola Serra Alta definitively
bring Coco into the realm of electronic music; further exploring the
Coco/Ragga, electric/organic connection, Chico Correa lays down an
atomospheric Dub groove punctuated with berimbau and Totonho’s soulful
vocals; based in São Paulo, Nirso, brings a mash up of Afro-Brazilian
rhythms to a stripped down Moombahton/Cumbia context; Opanije
(Organização Popular Africana Negros Invertendo o Jogo Excludente -
African People's Organization of Negros Inverting the Exclusive Game)
contributes a swinging Bahian Dembow tracks layered with shimmering
guitarra baiana riffs; Lucio K comes with a stripped down remix of Melô
do Vatapá from Bemba Trio, a big hit in the Salvador Dancehall Ragga
scene; as the title suggests, DJ MAM (Rio de Janeiro) bridges Samba,
Carimbó and Moombahton; from Olinda, Superlage come with a smooth
instrumental Cumbia Carimbó Dub; from Rio de Janeiro, but playing a mix
of music more known as being from the north of Brazil, Mohandas speak of
missing of Pará (saudade); naurÊa, a group from Aracaju, plays what
they call Sambaião, or a mix of Samba and Baião; Salvador Santo, from
Olinda, chops up sanfonas and pandeiros and layers scratches and vocal
snippets on top; the young rapper from Belo Horizonte, B.Réu, manages to
meld Samba, Maracatu, Hip Hop and Dub into a seamless blend; DJ Mangaio
comes with a dubbed out production of Coletivo di Tambor, a group he
frequently collaborates with; while Frevotron (aka DJ Dolores and Yuri
Queiroga) rounds it out with a frantic almost punk frevo electro-rocker
with punchy horns, snares and crazy vocals by the one and only Otto.</p><p>Kafundó
Records was founded in 2014 in Rio de Janeiro by Maga Bo and Wolfram
Lange aka SoundGoods to release new, innovative music coming out of the
current Brazilian music scene that is inspired by, structured on and
celebrates centuries-old afro-brazilian rhythms. Their compilation
series on the Kafundó records label benefits from their close
relationship with many of the key players in the contemporary Brazilian
electronic scene. Please let us know if you are digging and/or sharing
